If someone is threatening you online: • Stop responding • Preserve evidence • Report and block the account • Ask for help 💚 You are not alone. Help is available.

Scams are becoming more sophisticated and can happen anywhere, from social media platforms to text messages, unsolicited phone call, email, and payment apps. Protect yourself by remembering these tips: • Job offers and payments: Don't accept job offers or money exchanges through unverified emails, GroupMe, or platforms with people you don't know. • Payment apps: Scammers often request CashApp, Venmo, Zelle, or Apple Cash. Only send money to people you personally know and trust. • Gift cards: No law enforcement agency, government agency, or anyone providing a good or service will ever demand payment with gift cards. If you receive this type of request, it is a scam. • Checks: Never deposit checks sent to you through email or messaging apps. • Messages: Don't accept message requests from unknown users. • Passwords: Use strong, unique passwords — and never share them with anyone. • Links: Be cautious clicking links in emails or messages from people you don't recognize. • Phone calls: Law enforcement will NEVER call asking for payment over the phone. If something feels off, it probably is. Trust your instincts and report suspicious activity to MSU DPPS or your local police department. #MSUDPPS #SpartanSafety #FraudPrevention #StaySafeOnline

Together, we pushed a resistance sled one yard in honor of each life lost on September 11, 2001. On the 25th anniversary, this tradition carried profound meaning as we reflected on the courage, sacrifice, and lives forever changed. Never forget.
