In these cases, high school seniors receive an official-looking mailing stating that a "Campus Card" is required for many services, purchases and privleges at the institute of higher learning which the high school senior plans to attend. However, no such card is actually required by such institutes.
The company sending the mailing requests a fee for this card and states or implys a connection with the college or university, which in fact, does not exist.
One such business which allegedly engaged in such deceptive practices was known as the National College Registration Board, or the NCRB.
The National Association of Attorneys General (NAAG) estimates that 5,800 students nationwide have been victimized by this scam. Thirty-six Attorneys General have negotiated a settlement with NCRB. For information on states participating in the settlement, visit the NAAG web site.
