BATON ROUGE, La. (WAFB) - ACT and SAT scores are important to parents and students preparing for college. Now scammers are after them as they pay extra for tutors and test prep materials in hopes of a higher score.
President and CEO of The Better Business Bureau of South Central Louisiana Carmen Million states that you could spot the scam when you get an unsolicited call from a person that says they’re from the College Board. That’s the company responsible for SATs. The caller will claim to be confirming your address so that they can send test prep materials like books, CDs, or videos.
