  • Estafas de PrĂ©stamos Estudiantiles y CĂ³mo Evitarlos
    Estoy segura de que todos nuestros oyentes en alguna manera tienen experiencia con los prĂ©stamos estudiantiles. Algunos han sacado un prĂ©stamo para pagar sus estudios universitarios, otros quizĂ¡s han ayudado a sus hijos obtener un prĂ©stamo, o conocen a alguien que ha obtenido uno. Y desafortunadamente esto tambiĂ©n lo saben las empresas deshonestas, los delincuentes cibernĂ©ticos, y los estafadores. Por esta razĂ³n ellos se dirigen a los prestatarios de prĂ©stamos estudiantiles con la intenciĂ³n de llevar a cabo esquemas o estafas de fraude. Estas estafas tienen el propĂ³sito de separarte de tu dinero, robar tu informaciĂ³n personal, o ambas cosas. Caer vĂ­ctima de estas estafas tiene consecuencias muy graves como el robo de tu identidad, el abrir de cuentas de tarjetas de crĂ©dito u otros prĂ©stamos usando tu nombre, el robo de tu cuenta bancaria. Y tambiĂ©n puede tener un efecto negativo en tu puntaje de crĂ©dito. Los esquemas y las estafas de prĂ©stamos estudiantiles no es algo nuevo, y por dĂ©cadas la Oficina del Inspector General del Departamento de EducaciĂ³n ha estado luchando para pararlos y alertando de estas actividades—cĂ³mo identificarlas, evitarlas, y quĂ© hacer si piensas que has sido vĂ­ctima de un fraude.
