While social media is a great way to keep up with friends, it is also a popular way for criminals to attempt to con us. A current Facebook scam baits students with false claim of class action lawsuits against their college, or a college they are interested in attending, and then extracts fees to join this non-existent law suit.

‘National Student Loan Defense Group’ is one group currently circulating ads which falsely state there is a class action lawsuit underway against Charter College. There is no lawsuit. These ads are designed to collect fees from students to join this non-existent suit.

Last year we reported on a social media scam where companies offer to consolidate debt, reduce your loan fees or even eliminate your debt for a fee on social media. While Facebook updated their ad policy last November to address misleading or deceptive loan forgiveness programs, these scams are still circulating.
