FRAUD ALERT
We have received reports that several UCSB students have become
victims of a Fraud Scheme whereby a third party is using stolen credit cards to
make payments to the University. Credit Card and eCheck Payments to UCSB should
be made directly by the Student or Parent using a Credit Card or Banking Information
owned by the Student or Parent. Do not allow other people to access your account
to make payment on your behalf.
