Unfortunately international students and scholars are sometimes targeted by individuals attempting to scam or defraud you.
A few ways to identify a phone scam:
It is important to know that government agency and law enforcement officials will never call you to ask for money over the phone. They will never ask you to provide credit/debit card or gift card numbers, wire transfers, bank routing numbers, or to make bitcoin deposits for any purpose.
Never divulge your personal or financial information to unknown callers.
If you receive a suspicious call, contact Safety & Security. Below are important resources for more information:
