Scammers have managed to acquire College owned phone numbers
Yavapai College is warning residents that scammers have acquired college owned phone numbers and are using them to make nuisance calls. Yavapai College chief information security officer, Sean Hagan, said: “It appears that someone was spoofing our telephone numbers and attempting to impersonate College employees. We are aware of five instances related to the scam so far. Given the design of the public telephone system, there’s not much we can do about it beyond collecting evidence and getting the police involved, which we are doing now.”
Yavapai College Financial Aid Director Diana Dowling said that “Yavapai College will never call you to tell you that you need to speak to a loan officer.”
