Avoid Scams
Scammers sometimes target students, especially those unfamiliar with US systems. They may pretend to be government officials, university staff, or job recruiters to steal money or personal information. Common red flags include demands for payment via gift cards or wire transfers, threats of arrest or deportation, and urgent requests for personal details.
Remember: No legitimate organization will demand immediate payment or sensitive information over the phone or email. If you’re unsure about a request, don’t respond—seek advice from GLO. Stay cautious, and when in doubt, hang up and contact us!
