If you have received emails asking you to sign up to my-yearbook.co.uk (or .com), please be aware this is likely a scam and is not affiliated with BU or SUBU in any way.
The sender is appearing as [email protected] (or .com) and the email subject as ‘Complete Your Yearbook account.’ and directs recipients to complete a form.
BU has not given this company permission to contact our students and it is likely there is no actual product available.
The form requires you to submit a significant amount of personal information. This includes your mobile number, home address, your private and university email addresses, and your bank details.
You should always consider who is collecting the information and why it’s necessary, what will be done with it and what are the potential consequences if your personal information is misused. As a rule, you also shouldn’t click on any email links or open/download files unless you’ve requested the email and know the sender.
Please remain vigilant online and carefully consider who you are giving your personal information and bank details to.
