We have been made aware that there is a telephone scam targeting students. The caller informs the student that there is a problem with their original visa application or police registration, and requests a payment to solve the issue. Please be aware that these telephone calls are not from members of the UK Visa & Immigration Service or from the Police, and students should not give any personal details over the phone or make any payments. www.ukba.homeoffice.gov.uk/aboutus/scams
Students are advised to close the call as soon as you realise this might be a scam. However, If the caller insist on calling you, or if you are unsure, you can ask them to email you with their request and if they send an email, forward to the International Advice Service internationalsupport@dundee.ac.uk who are available to advise and support you if you feel upset or threatened by these calls in any way.
