Type of a scam Other

Had call from organization saying they were with the College Board and my student signed up for upcoming SAT and they had important materials to send. They are free if returned within 30 days, but needed to pay deposit. I made mistake and paid. I received useless materials and returned according to their instruction. When I didn’t get refund I called and was told they received materials and I would get refund. Then I received materials back marked refused. I phoned and was told I did not send back in time. I disputed, have receipts, man hung up. When I notified College Board they let me know this was not them, they never make calls like this. Somehow this organization has specific information on high school students. Beware, it is a scam.

Type of a scam Counterfeit Product

A couple of days after filling out information for my upcoming SAT, I received a call from someone claiming that they would be send SAT study material that would be refundable as long as we sent it back to them within the allotted 30 day period. However what we received in the mail was a counterfeit product which we had paid 200+ USD for. It is likely that collegeboard sold my information to a third party, that reached out to me.
