Caution: Bogus FAFSA site
This came across another list-serv. Those families applying for Federal financial aid should beware:
"A bogus FAFSA site is charging an $80 fee for processing this essential federal
(college) financial aid application. The bogus site is fafsa.com, which is a scam.
The real site is fafsa.ed.gov. The Department of Education can't do anything about this site, so it is important to warn applicants to be careful which site they use. They have had many students do this. Not only are the students(parents)needlessly spending $80, but they have given away their confidential financial and identity information."
