Help a victim of Fraud
Donation protected
My sister is a current graduate student at Chicago Institute of Art School (SAIC). She came to the US with hopes and dreams to study and become a performance artist. Recently she's been a victim of a telephone scam which resulted in her losing all her money as well as identity theft. Knowing she is an international student, they used scare tactics such as telling her that she will be jailed and deported if she didn't cooperate. Given the current political atmosphere in America, and the situation with immigrants she believed them easily. The timing of this incident was unfortunate too cause she had some money sitting in her account to be able to pay for her tuition for the last semester. They emptied her account and also made her pay some money from her credit card. She has lost around $7000 USD ($9000 CAD). Now she doesn't have enough money to continue her studies or even for living expenses. I did whatever I could, but unfortunately, I can't financially support her on my own. Any help would be greatly appreciated. This can happen to anyone and I wanted to ask all of you to educate your loved ones about these types of scams.
Below are some links for you to get to know my sister as well as some educational material about preventing scams.
