The UCF Police Department has received reports over the past month of a fraudulent check cashing scheme making its way around campus.
UCFPD says that suspects are approaching individuals around campus and saying that they do not have checking accounts and need help cashing a check. The suspects are then offering a substantial amount of money to the victim for cashing the check.
The suspects are using forged checks, which makes the victim accountable for the withdrawn funds.
UCFPD is warning students to not cash checks from strangers and give or accept rides to the bank with them.
If you witness suspicious behavior, report it to the UCF Police Department at 407-823-5555.
