The most common scams targeting the UB community

10/14/21

With increasing opportunities to hand out our personal information, the number of online scams are skyrocketing. Here's a look at the most common scams affecting UB and the steps you can take to avoid them.

Avoid writing emails that look like phishing messages

10/14/21

Phishing attempts—fraudulent emails designed to trick people into revealing sensitive personal information—are especially insidious because they often claim to be from a trusted source, like a colleague, or your bank… or your university.

Dialing an outside line? Include the area code beginning October 24, 2021

10/15/21

Area codes will be required for all outside calls—including to local “716” numbers—from UB Phones and other devices, due to a change made by Verizon. Calls to internal UB numbers will not be affected. Be sure to update any speed dial or call forwarding settings, especially those to 716-area numbers.
