Southern Leyte State University has received reports of fraudulent emails and messages impersonating University President Dr. Jude A. Duarteβincluding the unauthorized use of his photoβto request urgent payments and financial transactions.
The University clarifies that Dr. Jude A. Duarte and the SLSU Administration do not request fund transfers, payments, or any financial assistance through email, messaging applications, social media platforms, or phone calls.
Any request involving payments or financial transactions that does not follow official University procedures and authorized channels should be treated with extreme caution. Members of the University community are advised to verify such requests directly with the concerned office before taking any action.
If you receive messages from [email protected] or any other suspicious account claiming to represent the University President, do not respond, do not send money, and report the incident immediately to [email protected].
Please remain vigilant against impersonation and social engineering scams, particularly those that create a false sense of urgency to pressure recipients into making immediate payments.
