As students head back to college or university, scammers know that they are juggling new devices, financial aid deadlines, and countless emails—which makes them prime targets for online #fraud.
This month we’ve been showing students how to safeguard their devices, money, and personal information in a two part series with some key takeaways:
💻 New laptops & devices: Students should update their operating systems, use antivirus protection, and consider a VPN when connecting to public Wi-Fi.
💰 Financial aid & scholarships: Always verify information through official channels like FAFSA, the university, or government agencies, never through unsolicited texts or emails.
📙 Textbook & job scams: Free e-textbooks or too-good-to-be-true job offers can carry hidden #malware. Encourage students to rely on trusted bookstores, job fairs, and official career sites.
🆓 QR codes & freebies: QR code fraud is on the rise. Before scanning, check the source, and be cautious when giveaways ask for personal information.
