Watch out for the scammers!

UofG students, particularly our students from overseas, are being warned to be very careful when buying goods and services...especially those being targeted at the student community.

Police Scotland have made the UofG aware of a car and insurance sales scam. The cars being offered are not the property of the people selling them and insurance deals being offered as part of the package are also bogus. You should be particularly suspicious if payment for cars and insurance is requested in cash.

Please contact the police if you think you may have been approached. The police station most local to the university is in Partick - 609-611 Dumbarton Rd, Glasgow G11 6HY. Tel: 01786 289070.
