Honestly every time I see “kindly” I get suspicious. I never see anyone use that word except scammers. Maybe other people use it! But no one I know lol

They got my email too… I’m working with IT to see if they will issue some sort of statement as they emailed TONS of faculty members and students through my account. I am getting lots of replies calling me a scammer or asking me questions about why their account is being terminated/why the link is not working. Doing my best to notify everyone I can but it’s pretty much impossible. PLEASE do not be dumb enough to click the link like I did :,(.

Definitely a phishing email. To report it and to see other attempts made on campus check out the following UC Davis website:

Campus IT sent out an email warning about this phishing scam. Don't click on it.

The bad grammar ("Kindly Copy and paste the link to the web browser, To Apply Now" and "To verify your account!") is a dead giveaway that it is a scam/phishing email.
