SPAM Emails addressed to groups of SJU users

Recently there have been several SPAM emails sent to small groups of SJU users that have been causing concern to those users and the rest of the community. They are being sent as if a customer is being given confirmation of a transaction with the company when in fact, those the email is addressed to DID NOT make a purchase or contact the site at all. Below is an example of this type of email being sent out.

There have also been several airline email notifications sent out which is also causing confusion among the community. The travel office has been updating customers on these emails specifically.

Please contact the helpdesk if you have questions regarding any suspicious emails being sent to your account or simply just delete it.
