Scam Alert: "Artist" Check Scam Making the Rounds Again

We’ve received a few recent reports about a familiar scam making the rounds again. In these cases, a scammer pretends to be an artist and claims they want to use your photos to create artwork for sale. They often say they already have a buyer lined up and will pay you with an electronic check.

Here's where the scam happens:

❌ The scammer sends a check for more than the agreed amount.
❌ They then ask you to send the extra money back.
❌ Later, the check is found to be fraudulent, and you're left responsible for the money you sent.

This is a scam!

If you receive a message like this:
✅ Ignore the sender
✅ Do not provide personal or financial information
✅ Report the account or profile

If you've experienced this scam and have not reported it to police, please contact KU Police's non-emergency number at 785-864-5900.

Please help us spread the word to friends, faculty, staff, and fellow KU students, especially those who may be more vulnerable to phone and online scams.

Twenty-five years later, we continue to honor the memory of those who lost their lives on this tragic day.

We pay special tribute to the first responders whose extraordinary courage and unwavering commitment led them toward danger in service to others. We remember those who gave their lives that day and those whose sacrifices continued long after, as illnesses related to their service claimed lives in the years that followed.

May we always remember their bravery, their sacrifice, and the lives they touched.💙

Hey Jayhawks,

KUPD's main concern is the safety and welfare of our community. With that, we would like to highlight that KU Student Affairs has launched RealResponse.

RealResponse is intended to address hazing and other student concerns. Real Response is an anonymous reporting platform accessible to Lawrence and Edwards campus students, staff and faculty through text, email or WhatsApp. Staff or faculty concerned about a student can find resources at the Student Support Resource List or use the link below.

The first Jayhawks football game is here, and we are excited to welcome fans back to campus!

As you head to David Booth Memorial Stadium, please keep safety in mind:

✅ Arrive early and expect increased vehicle and pedestrian traffic around campus.
✅ Use designated crosswalks and stay alert when walking near roadways and parking areas.
✅ Lock your vehicle and keep valuables out of sight.
✅ If celebrating, have a plan for a sober ride home. Never drive impaired.

Our officers will be on campus throughout game day to help ensure a safe and enjoyable experience for everyone. As the stadium area is still under construction we would also like to remind everyone to stay out of the active construction zones while celebrating! Kansas Football
