WittTip

The campus community can now use the WITTTIP safety alert system to send a confidential tip via text message to the Wittenberg University Police division regarding criminal activity or safety concerns. Users should text the word WITTTIP and your message to 79516. A response will come from the text system promptly, to acknowledge it was received. The WITTTIP text service is not for emergencies. Items that should be texted will be those that the Wittenberg Police Division should be alerted about, where no person is in imminent danger. Emergencies still need to be reported using the emergency phone number, (937) 327-6363, or by using a blue cap phone on campus, if accessible, where the caller can speak directly to police dispatchers.

Winter weather storm is expected to hit our campus Sunday afternoon through Monday. Please park vehicles in parking lots to assist Springfield crews in clearing roadways.

Forecasts for the winter storm continue to evolve with the latest forecast shifting south with the highest totals. Mixed precipitation remains a possibility, adding additional uncertainty. Given the uncertainty, the winter storm watch remains unchanged this afternoon.

Beware of Brushing Scam!

A recent scam has been showing up in many states. A "brushing" scam is when someone receives an unexpected gift or item not ordered in the mail from a place like Amazon or other company. Examples of gifts include, rings, bracelets, necklaces, Bluetooth speaker, etc. The gift will have the recipient’s address, but not include the sender's information or be from a known retailer. When the recipient opens the package to see what it is and possibly who sent it, there is a QR code to scan to find out who sent the gift.

Once the code is scanned, all the information from that phone will be sent to scammers. They receive all access to the phone. All personal and financial information is accessible to the scammers and often the victim's bank accounts are drained.

The gift can be kept or thrown away, but the QR code should NOT be scanned for any reason. QR code scams are nothing new. These scams show up in all places, including parking meters.

Inform your family members about the scam and avoid scanning any unknown QR codes included in the package.
