Email Scam

An scam email message is being sent out to a number of UGA email accounts. It claims to be from UGA's Abuse Department (which there is no department by that name) and states that your account is being suspended for security reasons unless you submit some personal information. If you should happen to receive a message that appears like the one below, just delete it and whatever you do, do not send a reply of any kind.
