!!!SCAM ALERT!!! The Eastern Illinois University Police Department has been made aware of a recent internet scam involving fraudulent checks and ITunes cards. Please be aware of what information you are providing companies and the requests they are demanding when they send checks. These companies are offering a job by sending a fraudulent check to the individual and requesting they purchase ITunes cards and provide them with the codes to each card. Victims of a scam are encouraged to file a police report with their local law enforcement agency. Below is an example email students have received stating they have been chosen from a school database for a part-time job, this is not true. Stay vigilante and protect your personal information. Attached is a link from the Better Business Bureau with information regarding internet scam involving fraudulent checks. Please inform yourselves.
