Given the increasing frequency of scams in recent weeks, we should all be taking steps to keep our personal information protected. Never give out personal information unless you know it’s a trusted and verified source.
Steps that can be taken to avoid a scam:
- Don’t give your personal or financial information in response to a request that you didn’t expect.
- Resist the pressure to act immediately.
- Call back using a verified phone number that you have on file (not a phone number supplied in the request for information).
- If you get an email or phone call and you think it’s real, it’s still best not to click on any links. Instead, respond by contacting them using information you know is trustworthy, or look up the phone number. Don’t call a number they gave you or the number from Caller ID. You should initiate contact, using contact information that you have verified yourself.
- Form should never be emailed.
There may be times when an employee from the SUNY Broome Payroll Officer reaches out to you to verify information. If you are ever unsure about the validity of the request, please contact the Payroll Office at +1 (607) 778-5026 or stop in the office located in the Science Building #116. Please be assured that we have procedures in place to protect our employees’ personal pay information. If you have any questions, please contact Peggy Holmes at +1 (607) 778-5427 or holmespj@sunybroome.edu.
