In related news, some fraudulent emails that colleagues have reported to me suggest that staff email/identity fraud is still doing the rounds. These feature apparently legitimate emails from known staff, but with slightly unusual requests. The three most typical variations are:

If you receive any enquiries from suppliers or university of staff that involve requests that sound in any way unusual, strange, or simply not quite right, let your counter-fraud champion know immediately and they can action appropriately.
Of course the best preventative action is to ensure that all staff are aware of fraud risks. Fortunately, we’ve just made the BUFDG counter-fraud e-learning open-source, which means you can take the e-learning package, edit it to your hearts content, and install it on your own institutional VLE for all your staff to use (for free!). If you’d like to take advantage of this, drop our L&D Manager Rachel an email.
