In recent weeks, there has been a phone scam affecting our CofC students. We have received several reports from our students about receiving disturbing phone calls. The caller generally claims to be a law enforcement official and states that there is a warrant out for the students arrest. During the phone call, the caller attempts to gain personally identifiable information about the student. This information is false; law enforcement will not call any citizen in this manner. If you receive this call, hang up immediately and contact Public Safety.
Please also make note of the press release the FBI put out a few days ago.
