Dear international students, the IND has received reports that international students are being targeted by phishing emails. These emails inform students that their residence permit will be withdrawn if they do not transfer money. These messages may appear to come from the IND.
The IND advises students to end the call immediately and delete any such phishing messages. The IND will never call students to tell them that their residence permit will be withdrawn if they do not transfer money.
