FRAUD WARNING

The Ann Arbor Police Department has confirmed a number of scams that target students and landlords via email requests to lease property. Please be wary of perspective renters and subtenants who contact you by email, expressing an interest to rent a space sight-unseen, and always wait to make sure that checks clear before issuing refunds. For more information about internet fraud or to report suspicious activity, please visit http://ic3.gov/ or www.firstgov.gov.

U-M’s IT Security Service Office is also warning students about personal identity scams, known as “phishing scams.” U-M email accounts have been receiving emails that appear to be from financial institutions and internet services, requesting the user to update personal information. For more information about these scams and how to protect yourself from them, please visit http://identityweb.umich.edu.
