Phish Bowl Alerts

Be on the lookout for funding scams from unrecognized sources. This example, purported to be sent from the "Employee Assistance Program (E.A.P)" claims to offer applicants up to $5,000 in funding. One key red flag is the mismatch between the sender's domain and organization they claim to be a part of.
