Stay scam smart as tuition fee deadlines approach

As tuition fee deadlines approach, stay alert to avoid scams. Fraudsters may pose as King’s or other official organisations to pressure you into sharing details or making payments. Remember, King’s will never ask for bank details by email or phone. If in doubt, don’t respond and report it.
