We have been alerted that there is currently a bogus email in circulation attempting to steal user credentials by claiming to be a notification/verification from RVC Learn. Please beware and discard the email immediately should you happen to receive it. If you have inadvertently opened this email and responded to it, please let IT Helpdesk know as soon as possible.

If you receive an email claiming to be from the RVC IT department, HR department or from RVC Learn asking for personal information, to verify login details, to expand your mailbox quota or anything requesting you to open a file from an unknown sender then DO NOT respond to either of these.

Some of these malicious emails might be very convincing and may even appear to have been sent from an @rvc.ac.uk address, and may present you with web pages which look identical to an RVC resource.

Please note that it is the RVC IT Department’s policy not to ask users for their passwords.
