Dear Students,

We want to make you aware of a growing online scam involving spoofed tracking numbers and fraudulent online retailers. 

Scammers may provide a tracking number that appears legitimate and shows a package as "delivered," even though the item you purchased was never sent to your address. In some cases, the tracking information is altered or linked to a different delivery location in the same area, making it difficult to dispute the charge.

Be especially cautious when ordering from unfamiliar international websites. We have received reports of scams involving tracking numbers, including some beginning with "CZ," that appear to show delivery activity even when merchandise is never received. A tracking number alone is not proof that an order is legitimate. Always research the seller, use a protected payment method, and purchase from reputable retailers whenever possible.

To help protect yourself:

• Purchase only from reputable and well-known retailers.
• Be cautious of websites offering deep discounts that seem too good to be true.
• Research unfamiliar sellers before making a purchase.
• Use secure payment methods, preferably credit cards, which often provide stronger fraud protection.
• Verify website URLs carefully and watch for misspellings or unusual domain names.
• Keep records of your order confirmations, receipts, and correspondence with sellers.

If you receive a tracking number for a purchase and something seems suspicious, contact the shipping carrier and the seller directly to verify the shipment details. If you believe you have been the victim of a scam, report the issue to your financial institution immediately and monitor your accounts for unauthorized activity.

Staying informed and exercising caution when shopping online can help protect you from fraud and financial loss. 

If you have any questions or concerns, please don't hesitate to reach out.

Why this matters: Scammers continue to use increasingly sophisticated methods to make fraudulent purchases appear legitimate. Taking a few extra moments to verify a seller can help prevent significant frustration and financial loss.

Best regards,

Molly Andrus, Associate Director of Marketing Services
