From time to time, you will see phishing schemes that claim to be a Google Doc. Most recently, many have received a scam letter titled "I've shared an item with you." The "google link" in the email doesn't go to Google, of course - and it presents a login that looks like this:
Currently, a REAL Google login should look like this:
But, be careful. Looking like this is not enough.
(PLEASE note - if you are already logged in to gmail, following a link to a google doc should NOT present you with a login - you're already logged in.)
When
- You ARE prompted to login to a resource for the University,
- AND you receive the Google prompt,

- Just present your email address, e.g. internet-id@umn.edu
Like this:
If it's legitimate, you may next see:
 |
| (You'll see this if Google thinks you have two versions of NAME@umn,edu, Choose "Organizational") |
You'll do your real Internet ID + Password login on this screen:
Remember, if legitimate, THIS login page will be hosted at an address that ends in "umn.edu." If it isn't, it is unlikely to be a real login page and you should report it to phishing@umn.edu.
