- 不要拨打虚假电子邮件中可能列出的电话号码,也不要点击虚假电子邮件中列出的任何链接.
ATM Safety

- 向你的金融机构查询,确定你账户的每日提款限额.
- Utilize ATMs on Campus at Public Safety, in the Campus Center or inside the WEC.
- NEVER accept offers of assistance with the ATM from strangers.

Panhandler Safety Tips
- If an individual approaches you and asks for money, do not give it to them. Kindly say NO and keep walking to a crowded area.
- If you’re threatened in anyway comply with the panhandler, property can be replaced and is not worth injury.
- 打电话给当地警察,或在校园地区立即致电973-596-3111给申博太阳城警察打电话, while walking to a safe location. 如果乞丐变得咄咄逼人,拨打911,告诉他们你在申博太阳城,并告诉他们你的确切位置.
- 保持一种态势感知状态,以便有机会看到你前面的乞丐,并有机会选择另一条避开的路线.
- If the panhandler asks you anything, DO NOT STOP if you’re already walking. Keep moving. Say nothing or kindly say NO.
- If the panhandler (or anyone at all) asks you what time it is, DO NOT look at your cell phone or watch to check. Instead, move along, or give him your best guess if you must say anything. 这种本能很难打破,但如果这个人是一个想要“抢走”你的财产的潜在罪犯,这种本能就非常重要了.
- 如果一个明显的乞丐(或任何人)走到你面前向你问路, DO NOT look away and point somewhere. Instead simply talk the person through it. 我之所以提到这一点,是因为这是犯罪分子用来让你把目光移开一会儿的潜在策略——然后抢走你的钱包, purse, or worse.
- The best ways to help panhandlers, or homeless in general, would be to donate to a homeless shelter, soup kitchen, or other outreach program, instead.
REMEMBER; a safe campus is everyone’s responsibility!
