Broadcast Time: 09:00 Date: Friday, October 14, 2022 Type: Community Safety Alert (CSA) Warning Signs A job ad claims that no skills or experience are required. It offers high pay for little or no work. They do not want to meet you in-person. You're required to pay upfront for training, certifications, or materials. They offer to send a cheque that will supposedly cover expenses, gift cards etc. How to protect yourself from this scam Research the company offering the job. Most reputable companies will have an online platform and a company email. Be suspicious of gmail or other easy to create accounts. Example, "businessname176231@gmail.co" or torontouniversity5@gmai.com Ask detailed questions about the employment. Don’t always assume an employment opportunity is legitimate because you saw it in a trusted job website. It could still be a scam. If you spot a suspicious listing, report it to the publication or site. Don’t believe all website testimonials. Don’t sign a contract or make a payment without doing homework about the company making the offer. Campus Safety is reminding everyone to exercise care and to thoroughly research any prospective employers and be suspicious of activity that requires you to deal with quantities of money or cryptocurrency in a work from home setting. Remember - hit P.A.U.S.E. before responding to any communication that you are unsure about. If you believe your email has been compromised please report this immediately to the U of T ITS Security Team and exercise caution when using Wi-Fi connections that are not known to be secure.

Broadcast Time: 13:00 Date: Tuesday, June 7, 2022 Type: Community Safety Alert (CSA) Occurrence #: N/A The University of Toronto Campus Safety Special Constable Service is alerting the community about an ongoing Taxi scam that is targeting students. Example: A taxi rider approaches you asking for help paying the taxi fare with a debit card as the driver is not accepting cash due to COVID. The rider hands you cash and you pay the taxi driver with your debit card. Once you've entered your PIN, the driver and rider distract you - taking your card and handing back a different one. You don't realize until you go to use your card later and find money has been withdrawn. Prevention: Look for signs that the vehicle is a legal taxi such as signage; city licensed plate; taxi numbers and fare meter are clearly visible. Look for signs that the driver is a properly licensed taxi cab operator. A name and photo card should be clearly visible. When paying the fare, the driver will ask for a debit payment. When the POS terminal is presented, try the ‘TAP’ feature, if it doesn’t work, it’s sometimes an indication that it’s a fake terminal. When you input your PIN#, use a different PIN# -if the terminal says ‘approved’ that’s another indicator that the terminal is a fake one. Always inspect your debit card to make sure that it is yours – mark it with marker or a sticker on the back to make it clearly identifiable as your card. If this taxi scam happens to you make note of the taxi or fake taxi and take a picture of the vehicle. Call police and your bank to cancel your card. Remember - hit P.A.U.S.E. when you are unsure.
