BALTIMORE — It used to be calls about college loans, now scammers are targeting students studying for standardized tests.
Lynn Lascola, a Columbia mom, recently received a call from someone claiming to be with College Board. She had just signed her son up for the SAT and wasn’t surprised to hear from the test administrator.
“She said when he took the PSAT, he checked the box saying he wanted study materials and they could send out study materials like two CD’s and other test materials and he could use that to study for the SAT and he could have that for a month,” said Lynn Lascola.
That’s when her son was scheduled to take the test.
The caller said she just needed to provide a credit card number for a $229 deposit in case Lascola didn’t return the materials.
