[Gradstudents] Message from Dean- Scam/phone texts to students cell phones

[Julie M Porter]

Sent on behalf of Interim Dean Louie Rodriguez:


SOE students,

A scam seems to be taking place this evening involving students' personal cell phones and phony texts. At least two students have received messages stating that the person is a faculty member, and that they would like the student to go to CVS or a store for them. An example of such a message (with the number that the texts have been originating from) is pasted below. Please be extremely cautious; these are not legitimate messages from faculty.
