Colleagues,
Please be aware of the following scam that was reported to us by a COEHD professor
emeritus. It may be the first such item to surface at UTSA but they wanted to alert UTSA
so that we could get the word out to prevent anyone from being victimized. Details are:
1. A professor emeritus was contacted via her UTSA email address and asked to
conduct a review/evaluation of a candidate for Associate Professor from a university
abroad.
2. Having conducted many such reviews, the UTSA professor emeritus agreed and sent a
review of the candidate and her/his materials.
3. She subsequently received a thank you from the institution and a comment that
they would provide compensation for the review.
4. Compensation is never a part of faculty assessments and review for promotion and
tenure, so the professor emeritus was taken aback.
5. She became further alarmed when the institution asked for all of her banking
information, namely:
Bank :
IBAN :
ROUTING NO :
Bank Account no. :
Bank Account Beneficiary :
SWIFT Code :
Sort Code :
Bank Address :
Passport No :
Residential Address :
This convinced her that the request for her to evaluate a faculty member was a ruse to get
her financial information and she did not provide it. However, she wanted to make sure
others are alerted to this so that they act extremely cautiously with such requests and do
not fall for a ruse. Please share the information with others to avoid having someone at
UTSA become a victim of a financial scam.
Ii am providing the faculty member’s full email thread below for information, but you
should be able to notify others by forwarding only my brief email.

I was compensated for serving on a dissertation committee for an Australian university. I
think they sent me a paper form that filled out with my banking information and returned
to them. They then deposited the check in to my account.

Getting a check back seems reasonable. But sending all of the requested info (including
passport #) is an invitation for identity theft, in my view.
