Beware Retirement Phishing Scams

Companies claiming to be University partners occasionally contact employees via phone call or email to offer financial advisory services. 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 mark the email as spam. 

Companies called Benefit Link, District Retirement Services, Edify Financial Consulting Group, Employee Retirement Advisors (ERA), and Pres Financial have reached out to employees offering services. These are not official University vendors.

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