Cybercriminals commonly use the topic of “payroll” as a scam. It is always important that you look carefully at the email sender’s address before responding to it or clicking on any link in an email.
All legitimate Clemson emails related to an employee’s payroll information will only come from either payroll@clemson.edu or CUBS2000@clemson.edu.
Clemson’s Human Resources department may send out emails for such things as:
- W2 and Year End reminders.
- Reminders to change your mailing address if you are moving.
- Weekly Payroll Reminders targeted to payroll end-users.
- To an employee, if their direct deposit is returned.
- To an employee, if they have a physical check that they need to pick up.
But do not trust any email that is not from either payroll@clemson.edu or CUBS2000@clemson.edu.
If you do receive a suspicious email, please report it to the Clemson Security Operations Center using the Report Phishing button in Outlook or by forwarding it to phishing@clemson.edu.
