- Cyber criminals and fraudsters are targeting student loan borrowers with schemes and scams aimed at separating you from your money, stealing your personal information, or both. The impact of falling victim to these scams can be severe—your identity stolen, credit cards and loans taken out in your name, your bank account zeroed out, and your credit score ruined.
Student loan schemes and scams are not new, and the U.S. Department of Education Office of Inspector General has been fighting them and alerting people to them for decades. In this episode, we talk about student loan scams—how to spot them, how to avoid them, and what to do if you think you’ve been a victim of one. Leading our discussion is Rob Mancuso, Assistant Inspector General for Investigation Services. Rob’s team of law enforcement professionals is leading the OIG’s efforts to help identify and stop these student loan scammers. And he has information you need to keep your personal information and your money safe. - Estoy segura de que todos nuestros oyentes en alguna manera tienen experiencia con los préstamos estudiantiles. Algunos han sacado un préstamo para pagar sus estudios universitarios, otros quizás han ayudado a sus hijos obtener un préstamo, o conocen a alguien que ha obtenido uno.Â
Y desafortunadamente esto también lo saben las empresas deshonestas, los delincuentes cibernéticos, y los estafadores. Por esta razón ellos se dirigen a los prestatarios de préstamos estudiantiles con la intención de llevar a cabo esquemas o estafas de fraude. Estas estafas tienen el propósito de separarte de tu dinero, robar tu información personal, o ambas cosas. Caer vÃctima de estas estafas tiene consecuencias muy graves como el robo de tu identidad, el abrir de cuentas de tarjetas de crédito u otros préstamos usando tu nombre, el robo de tu cuenta bancaria. Y también puede tener un efecto negativo en tu puntaje de crédito.Â
Los esquemas y las estafas de préstamos estudiantiles no es algo nuevo, y por décadas la Oficina del Inspector General del Departamento de Educación ha estado luchando para pararlos y alertando de estas actividades—cómo identificarlas, evitarlas, y qué hacer si piensas que has sido vÃctima de un fraude.
