Posted on: June 7th, 2019 by Mykael Baig

Below is the most recent phishing email and website we have seen. Similar to past emails, this scam attempts to trick users into entering personal account information (e.g. username/password). Users should not click any links in this email and should delete it right away. As a reminder, Loyola will never ask for your password or to verify your account.If you have any questions about this or any email, before you act on the email, please call or email the ITS Helpdesk 773-508-4487, helpdesk@luc.edu.

Hi,

We are writing to inquire about hosting our wedding at your venue next year (2020) on the weekends of April/May.

Please could you advise on the below:

1) Your maximum capacity for a wedding ceremony and reception?

2) Your Venue availability for these dates?

Please let us know if our dates work.
