Reporting Suspicious Emails

Drexel University IT (DUIT) investigates all reports of suspicious emails. To ensure DUIT has the information necessary to properly investigate such emails, it is important that the original recipient of the email report it themselves to keep the message header intact. This is done using the reporting tool in either Outlook Online or Outlook Desktop.

For more information on protecting yourself from suspicious emails, please refer to DUIT’s Protect Yourself from Email Scams help article.
