ALERT: SCHOLARSHIP TELEMARKETING FRAUD SCHEME
Via E-Mail:
The Department of Education has issued an
alert regarding a telemarketing fraud scheme. Persons
claiming to be from the Department of Education are calling
students and offering them scholarships or grants. These
callers request a bank or credit card account number saying
the information will be used to charge a $249 processing
fee. The Department of Education is advising students to
take the following actions if they have given out their
financial information:
Immediately contact the bank, explain the situation, and
request that the bank monitor or close the compromised
account.
Notify the police about the incident; impersonating a
federal officer, telemarketing fraud schemes, and identity
theft are crimes.
Report the fraud to the U.S. Department of Education, Office
of Inspector General hotline at 1-800-MIS-USED
(1-800-647-8733) or
oig.hotline@ed.gov . Special agents in the Office of
Inspector General investigate fraud involving federal
education dollars.
Contact the Federal Trade Commission at 1-877-FTC-HELP or
http://www.ftc.gov/scholarshipscams/ .
For more information, see the Department of Education
website at
