Remind students to be cautious of phone scams

[Don't Fall For It]


UTA students should be cautious of phone scams in which the callers identify themselves as members of UTA or a governmental agency, then threaten to arrest them on false or fictitious charges if immediate payment is not made to the suspects via a money card or other transfer of funds.

The calls are from individuals posing as representatives of local law enforcement agencies, state agencies, the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) and other federal agencies, and even UTA. Some calls target international students. The telephone number used may be a cloned number from a legitimate agency or University office.

If you or anyone you know has information related to such crimes, call the UTA Police Department<http://police.uta.edu/> at 817-272-3381.
