"Welcome to MG Scanner" (The UMBC COVID-19 Testing App)
This Is REAL. UMBC Is Really Asking You To Use This App
In its ongoing effort to stem the spread of COVID-19 in the UMBC community, UMBC has partnered with Maryland Genomics (https://marylandgenomics.com/) to create and distribute a phone app that will help us keep track of on-campus testing and results this Spring. If you have received an email message like the one below:
From: MG Scanner Mobile
<mg_scan_do_not_reply@som.umaryland.edu>
|
Please install the app as described in the message. This app has been vetted (and field-tested) by the UMBC Division of Information Technology (DoIT) and is needed to manage the on-site testing effort for this Spring.
Please also understand that DoIT appreciates any suspicions you may harbor about unsolicited email. In no way do we want you to be any less suspicious in the future. This posting is intended specifically to assure you that this particular message is legitimate and that you really do need to download this app.
