The Higher Education Loans Board (HELB) has warned loan applicants of common schemes being run by cons.
In a notice on Monday, June 23, the board warned the applicants to be on the lookout for individuals and messages purporting to be from them. "There are many con artists out there, and they do not sleep.
If it walks like a duck, don't wait for it to quack.
Report and block," the warning read.
