Rossen Reports: Beware of this college tuition scam
Rossen Reports has told you that back-to-school season is prime time for scammers 鈥� from fake student job offers to test prep rip-offs.
Now, scammers are taking advantage of the anxiety we all have about tuition.
The Federal Trade Commission is warning about calls claiming your child's financial aid has fallen through and demanding immediate payment over the phone.
A school will never call and demand immediate payment by phone. Instead, hang up, look up your child's financial aid office, and contact them directly.
If the school has a student portal for tuition, log in there and get the real story.
