  • Binghamton University introduces a new metered parking app, ParkMobile

    Transportation and Parking Services is making metered parking easier and more flexible with the launch of ParkMobile, the new mobile parking payment platform. TAPS is transitioning from the Flowbird app to ParkMobile after a recent corporate merger. This change aligns with TAPS' commitment to improving convenience, flexibility and the overall parking experience on campus.

    If you currently use Flowbird for metered parking, download and activate the ParkMobile app before your next parking session. ParkMobile also offers text-to-park, giving you more ways to pay quickly and conveniently.

    Flowbird will continue to be accepted through Wednesday, Feb. 4. After that, ParkMobile will be the only accepted metered parking payment app.

  • Common scams and frauds at Binghamton University

    Each semester, as members of the community return for the new term, the University Police see an increased number of fraud reports. As a proactive step, the University Police at Binghamton have compiled a list of the most common scams impacting students, faculty and staff in the community. Being properly informed is one of the most important steps in protecting yourself and those around you.

    1. Sextortion Scams:
    This form of extortion is more common than many realize. Due to the private and sensitive nature of these incidents, victims are often hesitant to report them to police or to disclose the occurrence to family and friends.

    Sextortion involves the exploitation of sexually explicit material obtained from victims through social media platforms, group chats or online forums. Typically, it begins with a simple message that draws the victim into a seemingly casual conversation. As the conversation progresses, it may take a sexual turn, encouraging the victim to participate in sexually explicit activities during video chats or to share sexually explicit photos. Once the scammer has one or more compromising images, they begin the extortion process by threatening to send the content to the victim’s family and friends if payment is not received. It is important to note that complying with the demands does not stop the threat. In fact, the extortion is likely to continue regardless of whether payment is made. The most effective way to avoid this scam is by not sending sexually explicit content to anyone, especially if the recipient is an unknown individual.

    2. Employment Scams:
    The employment scam is a phishing scam encountered via the Binghamton email system. In this scam, the suspect initiates contact with potential victims via mass email. The email, which appears to have been sent from a university faculty member, poses as an advertisement for a university employment opportunity. Although the specific job advertised varies, it often revolves around a remote, part-time administrative or research assistant position offering several hundred dollars a week. When the victim responds to the job posting, the suspect proceeds to ask a series of interview questions, obtaining sensitive personal information in the process. The suspect inevitably “offers employment” and sends a fraudulent check to the victim as a proactive payment for services. The victim deposits the check into their own account and is then provided instructions, often involving the purchase of office supplies, gift cards or making payroll disbursements. The suspect then requests that the remaining funds, along with the security codes from the gift cards, be sent to them. The fraudulent check then bounces, leaving the victim responsible for the negative balance from the withdrawn funds.

    There are multiple ways to protect yourself from this scam. First, treat all employment opportunities offered via email as highly suspicious. Second, if you receive a check, either digitally or physically, consult with one of the bank tellers at the Visions FCU located on the second floor of University Union West. These professionals are trained in recognizing financial scams and will be able to tell you if a check is valid.

    3. Concert Ticket Scams:
    University Police have seen several versions of the concert ticket scam over the past few years. While this scam is often less financially damaging than others, it can spread quickly and impact many people at once. In most cases, the scammer contacts potential victims through group messaging platforms such as GroupMe or Discord, advertising discounted concert tickets. To make the offer appear legitimate, they often share an illegally obtained Binghamton University student ID and falsely claim to be affiliated with the University.

    Once a price is agreed upon, the victim is asked to send payment through Venmo and provide a copy of their own student ID to “confirm” their university affiliation. After payment is sent, the scammer keeps the money and either provides fake tickets or no tickets at all. The victim’s stolen ID is then used to continue the scam with others. It is important to understand that Venmo has a policy stating that all transactions involving concert tickets are final and non-refundable. Furthermore, never assume that an individual presenting a Binghamton ID online is affiliated with the University. This scam is effective because victims often believe they are buying tickets from other Binghamton University students.

    In the unfortunate event that you fall victim to an online scam, report the incident to the University Police immediately at (607) 777-2393. Information can also be reported anonymously through the University Police website at: https://www.binghamton.edu/police/anonymous-tips.html

    If you have any questions or concerns regarding these common frauds, inquiries may also be directed to Police@binghamton.edu. Educational programs covering a wide range of topics, including scams and fraud prevention, are available upon request and can be arranged using the same contact information listed above. On behalf of the University Police, have a great semester and stay safe.

  • Save time; park smarter: Quick tips to park faster and avoid delays

    Tired of circling lots? As you return to campus, Transportation and Parking Services reminds the campus community that parking on campus is busier during peak class times. There is always available space, but it is not always conveniently located near a destination. TAPS offers simple resources and options to help you park faster and avoid delays.

    Park smarter with these tips:

    - Check parking availability before you leave. Review the parking availability table to see which lots have open spaces and head directly to the best option. The table is updated every two hours.
    - Use lots with consistent open spaces such as G1, H, M3/4, ZZ north and ZZ south.
    - Take advantage of the Campus Shuttle. After parking, hop on the Campus Shuttle, which loops continuously around campus and stops at multiple locations — making it easy to get closer to your destination.
    - Carpool and earn perks. Groups of three or more Bearcats with a valid permit can stop by the Info Booth or Welcome Center to receive a day pass for the Visitor Paid Lot. Commuter permit holders can also earn a one-time refund after 25 or more documented carpools.

    Save time; park smarter! Find out more about these resources at the link below.
