<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Cambria","serif";color:#1F497D">As you complete your finals and prepare for a well-deserved winter break, we encourage you to be very careful when booking both domestic and international travel.
There have been reported incidents of scam artists posing as travel brokers and offering discounted airfare to students. Students book their trips and receive travel itineraries that have been purchased with stolen credit and debit cards. Afterwards they are
asked to deposit cash directly into the travel brokers bank account through a local bank. Eventually the tickets are cancelled because they were purchased illegally and the students are left without tickets and money. Please remember that if a deal seem too
good to be true than it probably is not. Always purchase tickets through a certified travel agent or airlines and never deposit cash into a personal bank account or send a money order or travelers check to an unverifiable address. If you have any questions
please contact your local law enforcement agency or campus police.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
