The San José State University Police Department (UPD) is aware that our department phone number (408) 924-2222 has been spoofed (a form of digital deception where a scammer disguises their identity by imitating a trusted person, business, or device). The perpetrators falsely claim to be immigration officials and threaten deportation.
UPD does not enforce federal immigration laws, nor will our department contact individuals regarding immigration related investigations, enforcement actions, or requests for personal information related to immigration status. UPD is actively investigating to determine the source of these spoofed calls.
If you receive a suspicious call claiming to be from UPD, do not provide any personal or financial information. If you have concerns about the legitimacy of a call, please hang up and contact UPD directly.
Thank you for your cooperation and vigilance.
