Campus Safety Services is advising the community to remain vigilant regarding taxi scams currently operating in the city and on campus.

In these scams, an individual may ask for assistance paying a taxi fare using a debit or credit card, claiming the driver will not accept cash.

In at least one reported incident, the vehicle involved displayed a taxi company roof sign. For information on identifying legitimate taxis and what to do if you are targeted, visit Campus Safety Services’ How to Stay Safe from Taxi Scams post.
