BEWARE OF SCAMS!
Not sure if an offer is a scam? Here’s how to tell. If someone advertises an offer with any of these phrases or a variation, it’s a scam.
- Scammers say: “The scholarship is guaranteed or your money back.”
- Scammers say: “You can’t get this information anywhere else.”
- Scammers say: “I just need your credit card or bank account number to hold this scholarship.”
- Scammers say: “We'll do all the work. You just pay a processing fee.”
- Scammers say: “The scholarship will cost some money.”
- Scammers say: “You're a finalist [for a contest you never entered].”
