Suspicious emails impersonating Dean Alamo

We have received multiple reports of email messages claiming to be from Carlos Alamo,  Dean of the College.  These messages come from an outlook.com address, not from a vassar.edu address.  The message asks the recipient to reply quickly for an unspecified favor.

If you receive one of these messages, please ignore and delete it.  If you engage the sender, it will lead to a fraudulent financial transaction.  This email is from a criminal who is trying to steal money.  The individual would try to convince the recipients to purchase a gift card and send back the redemption code.

Thank you for your attention and thank you as always for reporting suspicious emails!  The diligence from our community members keeps all of us at Vassar College more safe and secure.
