It has been brought to our attention that Indian students are being targeted by scammers who call themselves “Crime Stoppers” calling on behalf of “Home Office”. They call the students and intimidate them, threatening with arrest and claiming that some formalities were not fulfilled by the student at the time of arrival in the UK and therefore the student was now a “criminal immigrant”. They may also claim that they have been asked by “Indian authorities” to arrest the student. The scammers ask for personal and financial details, and intimidate students into paying them large sums of money. They may claim this as being “home office fines” or as “bail bond for Indian authorities”. They threaten students with arrest and/or harm to their family in India if the money is not paid or if the information is shared with anyone.
BEWARE – This is a very sophisticated scam! If they were to call you and you challenge their authenticity they may tell you to Google their phone number and verify their identity. They will have set up fake webpages and links to deceive you. They can be very forceful and authoritative in their tone, even more so if they sense that you are scared.
British Police or Home Office never contact students in this manner, and they never ask for money over the phone.
If you receive a call of this nature, please do not give out any personal details (passport number, address, family details). Please do not download any software they ask you to on your phone or computer. Cut the phone and inform the police immediately. If you are unsure, please feel free to contact International Student Support Team on internationalsupport@shu.ac.uk or call us on 0114 225 3813.
If you have already been a victim of this scam – please contact Hallam Union Advice Centre (advicecentre@shu.ac.uk or call 0114 225 4148) as a matter of urgency.

Opportunity for feedback in both small groups as well as individual support to reflect and write a useful career action plan.
IMPORTANT NOTES:
Suitable ONLY for 2014-15 Final year ‘International’ students who DO clearly know what kind of sector/industry or job/role they are looking for – due to the types of vacancies this workshop will focus you towards.
For students who are unclear as to what career path to follow we suggest instead that you book a 1:1 Careers Guidance appointment via the Careers and Employability Centre (Tel 0114 225 3752).
We look forward to seeing you soon.
Would you like some visa advice?
If yes, then book a place on our Working in the UK after studies workshop.
We will look at all the possible visa routes for international graduates into full time work including:
• Tier 2 Scheme
• Tier 1 graduate entrepreneur
• Tier 5
The workshop will also focus on how to improve your employability and how you can make the most out of your time at Sheffield Hallam University. We will explain the visa rules and how to maximise your chances of success.
The next workshops will take place in the Careers and Employability Centre (unless otherwise stated):
If you do not book a one-to-one appointment to see an immigration adviser at least 2 weeks before your visa is due to expire, then we may not be able to assist you with your application and you will have to send your documents off yourself.
You must attend a group session before you can book a one-to-one appointment.
It is important that you attend a group session at least 2 months before your visa is due to expire. You will be unable to get a CAS application form if you have not attended a group session.
The next group sessions will be taking place as follows:
June
July
Please come to the Student Services Centre, Level 5 Owen or Heart of the Campus to book on to a group session.
