A scam is being reported on the social media chat app, 'GroupMe.' An individual who is currently using the handle "Erica Cochran" or "Erica J. Cochran" is claiming that they are a student from Dartmouth College trying to sell concert tickets. If you are a target of their scam, they will state they are a friend of a current Brown student as proof of legitimacy. They will require half of the payment for those concert tickets while also requiring a photo of your personal Brown ID. If this individual reaches out to you by the name Erica Cochran/Erica J. Cochran or if someone else reaches out under a different name but is attempting the same scam, please contact Brown DPS at (401) 863-4111 immediately.
