Phone Scams
Please be reminded that Police, the Internal Revenue Service, the FBI, US Citizenship and Immigration Services, and other government agencies will *never* call you to ask for money or threaten your arrest.
听
If you receive such a phone call,听the caller often knows the name of the intended victim and has called a personal cell phone number, as well as a work number, to reach intended victims. In addition, the originating telephone number used by the scammer is displayed or "spoofed" as that of the telephone number of a Government Office. At this time we have not yet had reported instances in Ohio.
听
If a听student听(or faculty/staff) have any concerns about the legitimacy of a phone call from the FBI or another U.S. Government Agency, they can request the name of the agent and state they will call them back at the main number for the field office or resident agency.听 For Cincinnati, that would be (513) 421-4310, for Dayton (937) 222-7485, for Columbus (614) 224-1183, for Cambridge (740) 432-7416, for Athens (740) 593-6473, and for Portsmouth (740) 354-5645听or听hang up immediately. If you have any questions, please contact the UCIE or the 糖心原创 Police department (775-2111).
