The University of Guam is asking the public to report any fraudulent social media ads and posts impersonating UOG to Facebook and Instagram.

These ads from “Latest news01,” claim to offer free courses at UOG and may be trying to defraud users or steal their personal information.

On any social media posts, direct messages, or emails, look very closely at the account names and the source of the links. If these are not from official University of Guam channels, then the content may be fraudulent.

“We thank our community for alerting us to these fake ads,” said Jonas Macapinlac, Chief Marketing and Communications Officer, “We’ve sent a cease-and-desist letter and reported the fraudulent ads and account. However, the ads are still out there. Please don’t click on any links or provide any personal information, and please continue to report any suspicious content.”

Please report any suspicious ads and posts to Facebook, Instagram, or respective social media channel or alert the University of Guam via direct message on Facebook.
