Beware Retirement Phishing Scams

Companies claiming to be University partners occasionally contact employees via phone call or email to offer financial advisory services. Representatives of these companies have also reached out to employees on social media platforms such as LinkedIn. You can check the Benefits Vendor Contacts web page if you receive a benefits-related message and aren’t sure if it came from a University vendor. If the vendor is not a University vendor, please ignore or mark the message as spam.

The following companies have reached out to employees but are not official University vendors: 

  • Benefit Link
  • District Retirement Services
  • Edify Financial Consulting Group
  • Employee Retirement Advisors (ERA)
  • Pres Financial
  • United Financial Services

The University offers free retirement and financial counseling services to employees through LSS Financial Counseling and Fidelity Investments, as well as directly through University benefits counselors. You can learn more about services through the University on the Financial Counseling Overview web page.
