I contacted Scholarship America - this number is not theres and they never solicit money by telephone. They are working with the FBI on fraud and suggest you file a complaint with the FCC or FBI regarding this number. You can also call your local police and file a complaint.

These guys called me and asked to speak to the parents of my son. When I told them that I was a parent they immediately hung up. Is anyone investigating the source of this number?

I just received a call from this group and when I asked him how he knew my son requested info about the SAT he hung up on me. I do subscribe to the SAT enewsletters so I was a little concerned. I know enough to google phone numbers and found this site. Thanks for sharing your info! The next time I'll know how to handle the phone call.

They called here jut a few minutes ago and my sister answered the phone. They asked for my parents and they weren't home so in turn that's what they told them and they said, "Okie Dokie" and hung up. This one was a woman talking and didn't say any information because my sister didn't get a chance to ask.

I received a call this evening (7:30 PM PDT) from the same scam artists - claiming to be a non-profit. Pretty much same details as everyone else; but, would answer specific questions that I had. It really raised a flag when he said my son gave their company my address when he was at a career fair. We just moved to California and my son lives with his grandparents in Ohio, so I knew he wouldn't be able to give them our address and phone number from memory. Plus, the guy couldn't provide me with specifics about the career fair. He really put his foot in his mouth when he said my son marked down that we had Windows - all we have are Macs.

I just got a phone call from these people. They asked for my son's parents and said he had expressed interest in this SAT prep program. Said they would send it to me for 30-day's for free, then I could return it costing me only 4 stamps or pay for it at the cost of $39. (I thought that was the amount he said). I said, "ok, so if I keep it, you will then bill me $39., does that mean I have to give you my credit card number now or at the end of the 30 days". I was told I would need to give it now. I said, "I'll have to talk to my husband, so can you call back tonight or tomorrow". He said "We have so much business, we can't do that". I said "Ok" ~ Click ~ .
I don't recall a business name but the man talked like he was eating or chewing gum, very slow and seemed to be disinterested. I really wasn't interested and honestly don't feel my son asked for information on this program. I was just trying to buy out time to actually ask my son if he really applied for the information.

We had similar experience to "bunny"'s at 7.30pm today.
Google search yielded little info on "Scholarship Fund America".

| bunny 2008-07-17 03:19:17 Unknown |
We are on the Do Not Call list also. Called tonight. The guy CHARLES MORGAN FROM ? talked real fast and knew my daughter went to a certain High School. He asked for $155 as a charitable contribution to the Scholarship Fund America and would send study information on the SAT. I wouldn't give him my credit card number and he got real antsy. I hung up on him and he kept calling back.

A man called today and asked my daughter to speak to "the parents of [her name]." I had picked up the extension, and heard the last few words, and before I could speak, the line had disconnected. The voice I heard was deep like a professional announcer's voice. My daughter thought it sounded like a "prerecorded voice," but without any followup, she couldn't tell. Weird enough for my to check the number here.

A person called today at 1:05 PM. We are on the Do Not Call list also. The guy talked real fast and knew my son went to a certain High School. He asked for $155 as a charitable contribution to the Scholarship Fund America and would send study information on the SAT. After finding this number on 800 notes and with all the write-ups over the last 2 weeks, I became concerned and contacted Scholarship America at (800) 279-2083 and spoke with Janine Fugate, the Public Affairs and Communication officer of the company. It is not them and Scholarship America is talking to the Attorney General and are working to get the word out that this is not them. Scholarship America is very concerned about this and is considering this a scam as they do not solicit funding like this. Janine also asked me to contact my Attorney General and file a report with them. As of this writing, the charge has not hit the Credit Card and the Credit Card company is working with us to ensure that no unauthorized charges are put on the card.

They have called repeatedly and won't leave a message. We are on the do not call list and I have call screening through comcast but they got through anyway.
| Jen 2008-07-08 14:03:21 Unknown |
You all probably have high school students. This number belongs to Scholarship America.
| Patti 2008-07-04 03:48:01 Unknown |
This number has been on my caller ID almost every day for about a month now, they will not leave a message and when I called back no one answered. Does anyone know who this company is? Our number is on the DNC list and I have reported them, but they are still calling.
| patric 2008-07-02 03:14:36 Unknown |
