jrotertAppropriate Charge?
Have had several incidents on the UTA Caampus all with the same basic theme: phone solicitor calls a student, represents himself/herself to be from some sort of federal agency/bank dealing with financial aid. Offers financial aid to student but student needs to provide CC# or CheckAccount# to qualify. No one--as of yet--has fallen for it, but it's only a matter of time. What would the appropriate charge be? Deceptive Bus Pract? CC or DC Abuse--Criminal Attempt, Fraud use of ID?
