关于近期有人冒充警方进行诈骗的提示

目前有多位同学接到了声称来自警方的电话，虽然对方的号码确实是警方的号码，但是核实后发现警方并没有联系过同学。建议大家提高警惕。

现在已经发现号码包括 206-684-8723 和 425-452-6917，其中 425-452-6917 确实是警方号码。

以下是来自校方的提示：

Be careful if you receive a call from someone who claims to be from the U.S. government or the police and demands money. These calls are fake, and are from criminals.

The U.S. government and law enforcement agencies never demand money by phone. These types of calls are from professional thieves -- they use computer software to make their caller ID appear real, but they are not U.S. government workers. They want to scare you and steal your money!

• Do not give anyone your credit card numbers, online transfer information, or other personal financial information!
• Do not buy gift cards to pay someone calling or emailing you with threats!
  

Here is a typical version of the call:
1. The caller says he is an officer with a U.S. government or law enforcement agency. Typically they use one of these agencies' names, but there can be others!

• Internal Revenue Service (IRS)
• Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI)
• Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE)
• Seattle Police Department (SPD)
• University of Washington Police Department (UWPD)
• Any Police Department
  

2. Next, the caller says you have a tax problem or legal problem. They often know your name and some personal information.They demand that you pay them immediately. They threaten jail, deportation, or other consequences if you do not pay. They lie and say you can't tell anyone about the call.

What to do if a scammer calls?

• Ignore any request for money
• Do not give personal information to an unknown person on the phone or social media
• If you become a victim of this kind of crime on campus, file a non-emergency police report with UWPD: (206)685-8973
• If you have further questions, call UWPD Community Outreach Unit at (206) 616-0873
  

如果您收到来自声称来自美国政府或警察的人的电话并要求钱，请小心。这些电话是假的，来自罪犯。

美国政府和执法机构从不要求电话要钱。这些类型的电话来自专业窃贼 - 他们使用计算机软件使他们的来电显示真实，但他们不是美国政府工作人员。他们想吓唬你，偷走你的钱！

• 不要给任何人您的信用卡号码，在线转账信息或其他个人财务信息！
• 不要购买礼品卡付费给有人打电话或通过电子邮件向您发送威胁！
  

这是一个典型的通话：
来电者说他是美国政府或执法机构的官员。通常他们使用这些机构的名称之一，但也可以有其他人！

• 国税局（IRS）
• 联邦调查局（FBI）
• 移民和海关执法局（ICE）
• 西雅图警察局（SPD）
• 华盛顿大学警察局（UWPD）
• 任何警察局
  

接下来，来电者说你有税务问题或法律问题。他们经常知道你的名字和一些个人信息。他们要求你立即付款。如果你不付钱，他们会威胁监狱，驱逐出境或其他后果。他们说谎，并说你不能告诉任何人有关这个电话。

如果骗子打电话该怎么办？

• 忽略任何金钱请求
• 不要在电话或社交媒体上向陌生人提供个人信息
  

如果您在校园内成为这类犯罪的受害者，请向UWPD提交非紧急警察报告：（206）685-8973
如果您还有其他问题，请致电（206）616-0873联系UWPD社区部门

Hello First-year International Students,

We hope that you are having a successful spring quarter. There have been a few recent reports about students who have received a call (or voicemail) stating that the caller is from a Police Department (Bellevue, UWPD, Seattle, or other) and that there are warrants for their arrest. This is not a legitimate person. If you receive such a call, please hang up and call UWPD - (206) 543-0507.

Please understand the following:  

• You will NEVER receive a phone call that tells you there is a warrant issued for your arrest.
• NEVER provide payment information over the phone (even if the caller claims to be the police, an immigration official, or other authority).
• Never, EVER agree to meet someone at a strange address (parking lot, grocery, etc.), especially someone who calls and demands cash payment.
• If the caller demands payment over the phone, it is a scam.
• If the caller asks for a gift card number, credit card, or a wire transfer, it is a scam.
• Never provide your identification information (passport, visa, or other ID) over the phone.
  

You can read more information from our Chief Information Security Office and the International Student Services office to gain further education about the issue.  

Have a wonderful week!

你好，国际新生，

我们希望你们有一个成功的春季学期。最近有一些关于学生接到电话（或语音信箱）的报告，声称来电者来自警察局（Bellevue，UWPD，Seattle或其他），并且有逮捕令。这不是一个合法的人。如果您收到此类电话，请挂断并致电UWPD - （206）543-0507。

请理解以下内容：

• 逮捕令永远不可能通过电话发出。
• 切勿通过电话提供付款信息（即使呼叫者声称是警察，移民官员或其他权力机构）。
• 永远不要同意在陌生地址（停车场，杂货店等）见人，特别是打电话要求付现金的人。
• 如果来电者要求通过电话付款，这是一个骗局。
• 如果来电者要求提供礼品卡号码，信用卡或电汇，这是一个骗局。
• 切勿通过电话提供您的身份信息（护照，签证或其他身份证件）。
  

您可以从我们的首席信息安全办公室和国际学生服务办公室了解更多信息，以获得关于此问题的进一步教育。

祝你有美好的一周！

The U.S. government and law enforcement agencies never demand money by phone. These types of calls are from professional thieves -- they use computer software to make their caller ID appear real, but they are not real police officers or U.S. government workers. These are called "scams"--attempts to steal money by lying.

美国政府和执法机构从不通过电话要钱。这些类型的电话来自专业窃贼 - 他们使用计算机软件使他们的来电显示真实，但他们不是真正的警察或美国政府工作人员。这些被称为“诈骗” - 试图通过撒谎来窃取金钱。
