Fraudulent research study
The University of Nevada, Reno has been made aware of an alleged research study promoted by individuals or entities calling themselves “LionHeart Family Institute,” “Healthlion Medical Solutions,” “Trinity Research,” and other similar names, falsely claiming affiliation with the University. The University of Nevada, Reno does not have any connection to these entities or the alleged study.
If you have been contacted by any of these organizations or believe you may be a target of a similar scam, please report any potentially fraudulent activity to your local law enforcement authorities. More information about fraud prevention is available through the U.S. Federal Trade Commission’s (FTC) Division of Privacy and Identity Protection webpage. In the U.S., you can report fraud to the FTC at reportfraud.ftc.gov.
Unfortunately, scams of this nature are becoming more sophisticated and widespread. Please remain vigilant and verify the legitimacy of any research request before participating or sharing personal information.
