We all like the thought of getting something for nothing. Who wouldn't? Today we get bombarded from every direction with these kinds of offers. We were told never to look a gift horse in the mouth. They were right.
When you run across this type of 'deal' always keep an eye out for that small print that is going to tell you the truth about this deal that really isn't that at all. Free grants and scholarships are indeed available but they really need to be checked out for validity.
We get tons of junk mail in one form or another every day. You have got to make it a point to read through this carefully if you are interested in anything that any one of these has to offer. There can be things hidden to trick you.
Before falling prey to this sort of scam you must read all of the fine print. If you do this it is usually easy to figure out who the phonies are. The best bet is to have someone from your school check out the legitimacy of any offers for grants or scholarships that you receive.
The easiest targets are student with a less-than-perfect GPA. First come first serve offers are almost always bogus.
Another line to suck in victims of this type of scam is "You've Won." Don't believe it. If you win something, you most likely applied for it. This again falls under the rule of "If it sounds too good to be true it most likely is."
One tell tale sign that you are being scammed is often being asked for your credit card or bank account information. Do not ever give this information away unless you know to whom you are giving it to.
Also keep an eye out for the phrase "It's guaranteed." It's probably not and you'll be their next victim of their scam.
