Received unsolicited call requesting payment of approximately $250 for "test prep materials" that the caller stated my son had ordered. Individual identified themselves as "Frank Kramer." The scammer knew my son had recently taken the SAT, knew my name and my son's name, our address and asked me for my email address. The local number that showed up on the caller ID was (253) 588-8950 (automatically hangs up when called back) and then (888) 612-0489 showed up as the number associated with the charge on my credit card. Research has revealed that this was a scam call.

Caller had no accent. He had my address, my son’s name and school. He also knew that he was wanting to take the SATs. He seemed genuine and believable. I needed to give him a credit card number for collateral. I would be sent cds for college prep. In 30 days I would need to return the cds in the envelope provided and my card wouldn’t be charged. I was charged instantly. Called my bank and had my card blocked so no further charges would occur. I now have to file a fraud claim.

Called to say my grandson who is a senior in high school requested some test prep materials. The materials were free but we would be charged if not returned. We received the materials, then returned because my grandson said he never requested and didn't need them anyways. That was back in April 2023. First charge was then i called and they said it was the fee for the materials but would be refunded once they received the materials back. Never got the refund. I just saw a charge on October 24th for $99.93 from the same company. I looked back and saw that i was also charged on September 24th. I called the number on the bank statement but no answer. I left a message. The original number they called me from was 1-877-371-2709

Person called stating our daughter checked off that she want SAT prep DVD's. Stating we would pay a deposit of 249.95 and get the money back once the training materials were returned. - the person took the card number and and provided a confirmation number. Got suspicious and looked up on line could not find the company and typed in phone number provided and SCAM Alert came up. Called the number all you get is a VMX saying they are busy. The person on VMX did not sound crediable.

I received a call on May 2nd regarding my son's college prep status. They came across as if this was mandatory for my son to take. They offered a "packet" that included two dvd's. They said if we want to keep the DVD's, they are $219.84. They said we can return the DVD's within 30 days and get a refund and keep the other information. Upon receiving the "packet" nothing was in there except the DVD's. I did not open the DVD's and quickly mailed it back. I called to tell them it was mailed back and asked for confirmation of reimbursement and they said they could not send an email confirmation and I will see it on the credit card. No reimbursement ever came so we disputed the charge, cancelled my credit card and got a new one. They fought the charge and it was put back my new card. I called them back and gave them the tracking number of the return package and they said it would be taken care of in two business days. 4 days alter and it has not been taken care of. I called every day and every hour during their business hours and the call just goes straight to voice mail. I left a dozen messages during 2 days and they have not called back once or reversed the charge.
