Warning: phishing (scam) email
The start of the academic year is often a time when phishing emails are sent to students that claim to come from Student Finance England, asking for account or security details. Do not follow the links in any email that claims to come from Student Finance England. Make sure you log into the genuine site, direct.gov.uk/studentfinance.
If you receive a suspicious email, don’t disclose your details. Report it to security@slc.co.uk.
