Visit this Information Security Page on how to identify phishing scam.
The UTRGV Information Security Office (ISO) and Information Technology (IT) have worked together to launch the Phishing Alert Button (PAB). The PAB gives you a safe way to forward potentially malicious emails to information security personnel for their review. This feature will also automatically remove the suspicious email from your inbox to prevent future exposure.
Using the Phishing Alert Button will provide security personnel with needed details such as the email header and other attributes that may be lost when the email is just forwarded to IT.
