Previously, I had written a blog article warning about callers impersonating Visa and asking for your credit card information. The scam has evolved and is now more sophisticated. Employees on campus are receiving calls that appear to come from an MRU phone number stating there is an issue with purchases on their P card.

As with the Visa scam, the attackers ask for your P card information to confirm who you are.  No one who has a legitimate reason to check your P card purchases will call YOU and ask YOU to confirm YOUR identity. Neither will they ask for any information on the card.

If someone calls you asking for this information, please hang up. If you have recieved this type of call and have given out card information please contact Finance immediately and let them know.

Regardless if you have received one of these calls or not, check for fraudulent transactions on your P card regularly.  Quick action minimizes the damage a scammer can do.
