'Letters from Anne & Martin' on Jan. 25

As an extension of the college's celebration of the life of Martin Luther King Jr., the college will offer a live presentation of "Letters from Anne & Martin," from the Anne Frank Center for Mutual Respect, on Jan. 25 at 7 p.m., in the McCaskey Lyceum. Conceived by Hannah Vaughn and developed by Alexandra Gellner, the dramatic presentation draws from the text of Anne Frank's "Diary of a Young Girl" and Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.'s "Letter from Birmingham Jail." Tickets are not required for this free event.

Three student loan scams to watch for
|
The pandemic created a perfect breeding ground for scammers to take advantage of student loan borrowers. In a CNBC article, Kristen Evans, chief of the students and young consumers section at the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, said “Scammers really prey on the financially vulnerable, and so with the pandemic, many people have been struggling financially and they are looking for financial relief.”
There are three main types of student loan scams to watch out for:
Student Loan Consolidation Scam
A company promises (for a fee) to consolidate your student loans and lower your monthly payments.
| • |
What you should know
| • |
The only official student loan consolidation is through the federal government. Check out studentaid.gov or call 800-557-7394. |
| • |
There is no fee for student loan consolidation. |
|
Student Loan Forgiveness Scam
A company promises (for a fee) to forgive your student loans.
| • |
What you should know:
| • |
No private company will "forgive" your student loans, no matter how much you pay them. |
| • |
Public Service Loan Forgiveness is a legitimate federal program for public servants with federal student loans, but it does not charge an upfront fee. |
|
IRS Student Tax Scam
You receive a phone call from someone claiming to be an IRS agent who says you owe a "federal student tax." If you don't make immediate payment, the caller threatens arrest or a lawsuit.
| • |
What you should know:
| • |
The IRS will always contact you by mail before calling you. |
| • |
The IRS will never demand immediate payment, request a specific form of payment, or threaten you with arrest or deportation. |
| • |
The IRS will not request personal or financial information by email. |
