Shared documents - "Faculty info form" plus "Salary increase"

Phish Bowl Alerts

Gmail warns that the sharing email accounts are "outside your organization" and even displays the non-Brown email addresses (tcofield@gainesvilleisd.com and shacourtney.bryant@myoneclay.net). All you need to do is ignore the tempting titles about a salary increase and faculty form, then mark it as phishing (open the message in a browser, click on the stack of three dots to the right of the REPLY button and select "Report phishing"). Please see the end of this post for a screenshot of the bogus "2023 STAFF INFORMATION PAGE" form.
