What should you do when you see spam email in your UniSA account?

  • Never click on links in unsolicited email.

  • Never download files from suspicious email.

  • Never give out your password to anyone.

  • Never forward spam emails to your friends.

  • Notify UniSA ISTS about the email address and subject.  You can do this by forwarding the email to ITHelpdesk_spam@unisa.edu.au
