校园社区安全与学生生活, 股本, 和 Engagement Office would like to remind the campus community of fraudulent attempts used by criminals in order to obtain personal or financial information from individuals.

The criminals use phone spoofing equipment to make the number appear as it is coming from a legitimate organization. Often it will appear as a number from the United States Internal Revenue Service (IRS) or a local police department number.
罪犯会使用恐吓手段,例如:

- 粗俗的语言
- 不要联系任何人

虽然这可能是一次可怕的遭遇, 如果这种事发生在你身上, 立即挂断电话, 和 YOU call the non-emergency number for your local police department.
有几件事要记住,可以帮助保护你:
