Alert
In
March 2024, BBB received a complaint stating:
My
daughter is enrolled into the criminal justice program with SPC, she is doing 2
years of college with them and 2 years with FAMU. She is a very smart girl, has
been an honor roll student literally every grading period since the 2nd grade.
She has always had High expectations for herself. GPA has been maintained since
she began High school. She recently reached out to some people that she thought
was a tutoring company. Find out they have got to be scammers. They offered to
help her. She is very book smart, but, She is very Naive to other things. She
let them talk her into giving them her log in for her SPC account. Anyway she
ended up having to tell them she will have to pause on the tutoring services
because we ran into an issue with her car and she is now out of $5000 dollars.
So she had to tell them she doesn't have any money to continue. They are now
saying she still has to pay for prep services. She told them, "well I
don't have any money". They are now threatening to send an email to her
professor making it look like student misconduct. I am just getting filled in
about whats going on. She wants to be so independent, she never told me
anything until now because they have threatened her to give them $1500 for
doing nothing or they will send the email to her professor for student
misconduct and she will get kicked out. Please tell me what we should do from
here. She has been crying everyday and worried about her career moving forward.
My daughter has never been in trouble and has been dedicated to her future
career since she was in the 5th grade. My daughter has already submitted her
own work, on her own behalf, with no help.
