What this means for your family

If someone in your family gets a message promising free money or financial aid from an unknown source, it's almost certainly a scam designed to steal personal information like Social Security numbers or bank details. Delete these messages immediately and remind everyone that real financial aid comes through official school or government websites, never through random links. Staying skeptical about "too good to be true" offers is your best protection.
