A U. of I. student was targeted in a phone scam by someone posing as an ICE officer, claiming that a fraudulent passport had been issued in her name. The scammer used number spoofing to make the call appear legitimate and instructed the student to verify the phone number online. Later, the student received another spoofed call appearing to be from local law enforcement, warning her not to disclose the situation due to an “active investigation.” The scammers convinced the student to buy 32 gift cards totaling nearly $10,000 to cover a supposed bond deposit. After discussing the situation with friends, the student realized it was a scam, ceased contact with the individuals, and reported the incident to the police.
