Fake check scam targeting college students
9 News
WASHINGTON — The Federal Trade Commission is warning college students about a fake check hoax that has scammers pretending to be college professors.
The FTC said Dec. 2 that the scammer sends an email with a college domain name and format like "your.name@collegename.edu." The scammer offers the victim a part-time job like being a personal assistant or a dog walker. Then, the scammer asks for the victim to deposit a check for them.
