The subject did not have any official business on the 4th floor and was found to have previously been issued a written criminal trespass warning. Occurred on 08/04/15 at 11:11 AM. MAIN BUILDING, 110 Inner Campus Drive Suspicious Activity: A UT staff member reported receiving a phone call from someone claiming to be a tech support employee with a popular computer program company. The caller refused to identify himself by name. The caller advised the staff member they had information leading them to believe someone downloaded “bad files” to the staff member's computer. The caller directed the staff member to an unknown website to correct the problem. The staff member became suspicious of the call and disconnected the call. The staff member then used the *57 feature of his campus telephone to trap the phone number of the caller. Occurred on 08/04/15 at 11:00 AM. Crime Prevention Tip: The staff member did a great job in recognizing this as a suspicious call, asking for identification of the caller and disconnecting the call without going to the website requested by the caller. Once more, the staff member used the *57 feature to trap the phone number of the caller. If you receive a suspicious phone call on a campus telephone, you can trap/log the telephone number of the phone used to make the call by hanging up on the suspicious caller, picking the telephone receiver back up and dialing *57.
