货币兑换？警惕近期新骗局
一种新型诈骗正在悄然滋生，亟须警惕！
近日，哥伦比亚大学及美国各地的国际学生学者们频繁成为一些诈骗犯的目标。骗子们将2-5位不同学校和地区的学生学者们拉入群聊，要求将美元兑换成另一种货币（通常为人民币）。
如果你不幸受骗，请立即联系哥大公共安全部门：212-854-2797。
前往ISSO的“反诈”网站，了解更多信息：
https://bit.ly/issobeaware
Always be vigilant! Suspects have been using group chats to ask students to transfer money from USD to another currency (often RBM/CNY). Anywhere between 2-5 students across schools/locations can be included in these rising currency exchange schemes. If you believe you have been a victim, contact CU Public Safety 212-854-2797.
