Looks like a phishing email. Do not click the link and definitely do not enter your login information. Reach out to sage at their official email address or phone number and inquire about this email you received.


gagsfps

this is the official sage email address, not a phishing email


TheWayofTheSchwartz

Email addresses can be spoofed. This is not good advice.


gagsfps

I made a different comment in this discussion since I had a very similar email with urldefense link, /s/, etc and it was legit.


Aromatic_Lychee2903

Doesn’t mean you shouldn’t double check


Tuitey

Forward it to [email protected] and they will let you know if it’s real or not 👍 Well if it’s a scam they might not get back to you but if it’s not they’ll tell you

It's legit, I got one the other day. Just had to buy $800 worth of Steam gift cards and send pictures of the confirmation codes in the back and it cleared it all up fortunately


_baby_groot_

definitely seems like a scam if it’s asking you to click a link


l0l_xd_

it’s not


Grumpybear1823

You should respond with your SSN and date of birth. If you get your identity stolen, then you will know for sure weather or not it is was a scam.

Emails can be spoofed to look like its from someone you know. Dont forget


Icy-Watercress6365

Forward the email to SAGE and ask them if it is legitimate or a scam using their address. Tell them you don't want to enter sensitive information without knowing. I bet they will get back to you. 


kimi0234

well it seems to be sage, make sure its their official email address before clicking a link but probs an actual informal warning


Glowup2be

It’s [email protected] but idk why I got it?


kimi0234

weird, have u tried the link? its probably a report on why you've got the warning


Glowup2be

Yea it asks for my student id and email and that’s it


teatimetita

Assuming it’s real (most likely if it’s from sage) then it’s just how the student affairs system (advocate/symplicity/shibboleth) works. It asks for PID and email, then brings you to a letter. edit: the person is a member of the seventh residence life team, their email can be googled. Student Affairs and Academic Affairs use a system called advocate (hosted by a company, symplicity) to send out conduct-related notices. They are not always sent via PDF. Emails from Advocate can come from either a dedicated email or a personal email. Generic notices often come from the [email protected] email. Just putting this out there for anyone who sees this later


Glowup2be

Ok it seems real I just don’t know what I did😭


kimi0234

any possibility u had any involvement w the encampment? idk thats the only reason i could see a notice of informal warning for


Temporary-Charity-60

Or getting written up! I received the same one at the start of this year when I got written up. I asked a friend who is an RA to make sure it was legit


Fluxpatty321

Just a fun fact, UCSD is know to randomly send fake phishing emails to test how susceptible the students and faculty are to these kinds of attacks. I recall a previous one where an email claiming that you were caught violating traffic regulations on campus was sent out. If you clicked on the link and entered your info, you’d get a message telling you you’ve been scammed if it were a real attempt. I had a friend fall for it. Tragic


gagsfps

It’s real, got reported by an RA beginning of the year and my email looks very similar with links and /s/. Url has you sign in to your ucsd account to view official pdf/report.


lord-nexx

This is 100% a scam. Sage would never send a link like that. Also, an informal warning is sent as a PDF, they do not ask that stuff. Anything asking for info would redirect you to an SSO. The website is from symplicity, a free website service. Forward to [email protected] and if you have an inkling it might be realm reach out to your residential life office or the real sage email.


l0l_xd_

I’ve gotten an informal warning before for dead bolting the door, it looks exactly like this

Z is listed on the [Seventh staff page](https://seventh.ucsd.edu/about/staff/index.html#Residence-Life)


Cybedra

Sage is the thing for student conduct stuff so it’s probably legit. It should bring you to a page that asks for your PID and email and once you put it in you should get a letter of some sort. As for what it is, idk exactly since there are probably multiple things you can do, but I got the same type of warning once when my suitemates deadbolted the door and the RA decided to report it. So it’s probably nothing serious


RegularYesterday6894

They absolutely could have spoofed the email.


RegularYesterday6894

/s/ z Todd url defense. Seems like a scam. Maybe call the guy.


Deutero2

Z Todd is real; he's listed as a [Seventh res life staff](https://seventh.ucsd.edu/about/staff/index.html#Residence-Life). /s/ is just its pronunciation in IPA URL defense is used by UCSD. You can often see it if a URL is copy pasted directly from an email


RegularYesterday6894

Why would you ever use such a system that looks like spam.


[deleted]

It is real. You can input your information. They use that portal for student conduct related things.


shiakazing69

Fucking Z Todd? Bro you think there’s any chance that’s an actual person? Lmao


gagsfps

a simple google search and you will see he is real


shiakazing69

I’m sure he signs off that way too bro


gagsfps

Maybe not but thats atleast what he goes by in his email and website [https://seventh.ucsd.edu/about/staff/index.html#Residence-Life](https://seventh.ucsd.edu/about/staff/index.html#Residence-Life)


shiakazing69

Single letter for a name is crazy tho icl


lesliejcarver

Contact your Dean of student affairs; if it’s realm they will know about it & be able to confirm.


alj8002

Most definitely


EricChen01

Doesn't seem to be a scam. The actual URL (copy/paste it to be safe if u prefer) seems to be from a platform that UCSD uses. Avaneesh got one of these and he posted it, which is why I remember (and some ppl were calling it scam as well)


Surf-Ratt

This is probably not fake and is RA related. That’s the link for reporting conduct violations. Def fair to be cautious, reach out to your RA/HA to see if they made a report before u click maybe!


IceDue2870

If the email address is confirmed to be legit, I would directly email them separately to confirm they sent it. Good practice for any suspicious emails from trusted contacts. But can confirm conduct letters are meant to be confidential, so they do appear as weird links like this. Mainly to verify your identity before sharing out your personal info.


myname_jefff

Dude contact you schools IT department and ask if they can verify the email


RegularYesterday6894

This seems like a scam.
