Scam operators are actively trying to trick college officials into sharing and posting notices about their scam scholarships.
The current spam attack is a lottery scam from the “Degreedup.orgCashScholarship.”
? This spam mail targets TU staff members, and asks them post the scholarship notice to their students.
? If you have posted any notices about this scholarship, delete them.
? If you forwarded this information to any students, please recall the message, and notify all the recipients that this is a scam.
Avoiding Future Scams
? Before posting any scholarship notices, please follow the links to the actual scholarship application. If the application requires any fee, you should assume that it is a scam.
? This group has targeted TU before using a different scholarship name (Hazing Awareness Scholarship), and we expect that they will continue to target us using the same operation, but different scholarship names.
