📨Have you got a suspicious call from your bank or the local police alerting you of some fraudulent activity in your account?

⚠️Hang up the phone. Your bank will never call asking you to verify personal information over the phone.

Really interesting to hear about the work that @ucl have implemented since signing up to the Charter along with some of the barriers they face with 55, 000 students; safety seminars, Walk & Talks.

[Report Fraud @reportfrauduk]

If you or someone who know receives an unexpected call by someone claiming to be from your bank or a police officer, verify who you are speaking to.

Hang up, wait five minutes and call back on a number you know is genuine #courierfraud

Unfortunately we are seeing Distraction Phone Thefts on campus in our cafes. Please keep your phone out of sight or put it away if a stranger approaches you so it is safe. If you see someone acting in a suspicious way or witness a theft please use SafeZone to contact Security.

[City of London Police @CityPolice]

‼️We’ve had 7 reports of distraction thefts in #City coffee shops and cafes in the last 24 hours‼️

Make sure you keep a close 👀 on your phone and personal belongings, don’t leave them in sight of potential criminals.
