Dear Students,
We have received reports from some UK universities that a telephone fraud is targeting international students. Typically, a student will receive a call from someone who says they work for the UK Border Agency. Callers have used the names "Eric Wilson", "Mike Watson" and others. The caller may appear genuine, and they may have some limited information about you, for example your passport number. The caller may say that there is a problem with your pending immigration application or with your current visa, and they may ask for debit or credit card details to pay a fine immediately, which they will say is to prevent further action or investigation by the UKBA.
We can confirm that the UKBA would not approach an applicant or migrant in this way, nor does the UKBA have any system of fines or penalties.
If you receive such a call, we advise as follows:
·Do not give the caller any personal information, and do not confirm that any information they have is correct. Do not make any payment over the phone
·Ask the caller for their name, job title and number, and say you will ring them back. But do not ring them back.
·Report the call to us, and we can report the fraud to the police and to the UKBA if you wish
·If you wish, you can report the matter to the police or to the UKBA yourself
