COVID-19 Scams Targeting College Students
The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) is warning college students of potential scams specifically targeting college students. Most scams begin by emailing you while claiming to be from the “Financial Department” of you university or college. The email requests that you click on a link to receive a message about your COVID-19 economic stimulus check — and it needs to be opened through a portal link requiring your university login. Don’t do it. It’s a phishing scam. If you click to “log in,” you could be giving your user name, password, or other personal information to scammers, while possibly downloading malware onto your device.
There are a couple of steps you can take to better protect yourself from clicking on a link or sharing any of your sensitive information:
- Check it out: If you have concerns about an email, contact the sender directly. Look up their phone number or website yourself. Do not click on a link. That way, you will know you are not about to call a scammer or follow a link that will download malware.
- Take a closer look. While some phishing emails look completely legit, bad grammar and spelling can be a tip-off to phishing. Another clue that the email is not really from your school: they use the wrong department name. In one example, the scammers called themselves the “Financial Dept” instead of the Financial Aid Department.
Home Federal Bank encourages all our customers to be cyber safe and keep personal information protected. Here is important information and guidance recently published by the FTC.
If you receive something that looks like a phishing scam, report it. Forward the message to the Anti-Phishing Working Group (an organization which includes ISPs, security vendors, financial institutions, and law enforcement agencies) at reportphishing@apwg.org. You can also report phishing to the FTC at ftc.gov/complaint.
