The Student and Exchange 兔子先生传媒文化作品or Program (SEVP) has been made aware of a spoofing scam involving individuals using an SEVP Response Center (SRC) phone number (703-603-3400) or a Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) office phone number (757-441-6533) to target nonimmigrant students. Fraudulent callers are claiming to be SEVP representatives and asking students to provide their immigration information, such as their Alien Registration Number or Form I-94, 鈥淎rrival/Departure Record,鈥 information, or face deportation.

If you encounter, or are a victim of this spoof call, you are encouraged to report the incident to the tip line.  

Tips and items to remember:

  • NEVER divulge personal or financial information to unknown callers.
  • SEVP officials will NEVER ask stakeholders to provide credit/debit card/gift card numbers, wire transfers, or bank routing numbers, or to make bitcoin deposits for any purpose.
  • Report all suspicious calls to the tip line and if you are unsure about the validity of a call from SEVP officials reach out to your designated SEVP field representative.
