QC Banner

From the Office of Public Safety:

The NYPD is alerting college campuses across the city of a check cashing scam that specifically targets college students. In response, they offer the following description of how the scam works and how you can avoid becoming a victim.

How the scam works:

  • A suspect approaches the victim as they're leaving their college campus, claiming they need help cashing a check to pay the Bursars Office their tuition.
  • Suspect and victim then go to a nearby bank where the victim deposits the check into an ATM and withdraws cash to give to the suspect.
  • The victim is notified the following business day that the check they deposited was fraudulent and they now have a negative balance in their bank account.

How to protect yourself from check cashing scams:

  • If anyone approaches you while on campus or anywhere else asking you to cash a check, refuse and call 911.
  • Give the 911 operator a detailed description of the suspect and their location.
