Someone has shared a document on Google Docs with you

But have they really?

You may receive an email that appears to be From: a colleague, indicating that they have shared a Google Doc with you... when you unwittingly click the link included in the email (egads, don't do that!), you'll be prompted to "Allow" access to your Reed account.

If you receive such an email, don't click the link to open the Doc!  Your colleague's account may have been compromised (by a similar phishing message from someone they know), and been used to mass email the nasty phishing message to everyone in their contact list.  If you click on the link (or any link in an unsolicited email), your account could be compromised next!

If you've clicked a link such as the one above, please get in touch with Computer User Services.  We can help resecure your account, and make sure you haven't granted permissions to any bad people out on the internet.
