Student falls prey to immigration scam
A student filed a report with UNMPD concerning phone fraud. According to the report, the student received a call from an unknown person who claimed to be an agent from the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services. The student was instructed to purchase a $280 pre-paid money card in order to pay a fee to correct his immigration paperwork. The student complied and was then called again to pay an additional $749, at which point the student became suspicious.
UNMPD spoke with the caller, and told him not to call the student again because the scam was reported to police. The caller replied “you go f*** yourself and tell that other motherf***er to stop calling me.” The phone number was a toll-free number that belongs to USCIS.
