Text Message starting a Gift Card Scam

Multiple people at UVA have reported that they have received a text message that looks like this: 

This is the beginning of a gift card scam!

Do NOT reply to this text message. 

If you're concerned that it is legitimate request from your "" (e.g., your dean, department chair) then email or call that person using the contact information you already have.

Please report "smishing" (SMS phishing) to us by emailing [email protected]

Many hundreds of email messages are coming in with this type of format:

From: Department Chair  mailto:deptchair.virginia.edu @ gmail.com>>
Subject: Send me your available text number that I can reach you at
Date: September 25, 2021 at 2:40:33 PM EDT
To: typicaluser @ virginia.edu<mailto:typicaluser @ virginia.edu>

--
Department Chair
Dean and professor
School of Scam Science

Even if they seem to come from your chair, department head or supervisor, they are a scam - DELETE them.

Your supervisor does not need to ask for your cell phone number, nor do they need you to buy gift cards for them - the latter violates UVA policy.
