<p class="MsoNormal">It’s definitely Monday and I need the collective wisdom of the OASFAA group for this one….</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">We have a female student who is enrolled full-time at our school along with two ex-husbands and two ex-step children. All five individuals have the same address and phone number. Everyone except the female student are enrolled in online
classes only and after visiting with a couple other departments, no one can be certain that they have ever seen the ex-husbands or children. Female student has been taking care of ALL financial aid paperwork and has submitted power of attorney over the two
ex-husbands (same generic form from the internet, notarized by yet another student). Over the past two weeks female student has been very persistent with the FA office regarding not only her aid but that of the ex-step children. We have told her that we cannot
discuss any of the other individual’s financial aid with her, but she already knows everything and is able to logon to their student accounts to view information, not to mention everything we mail goes to the same address for all five people. Additionally,
after looking at several forms submitted by all five students, it appears that most forms are signed by the same individual. I have a really uneasy feeling about this and am not sure how to proceed. We have not said anything to the student regarding our
suspicions of potential fraud. We are currently “dragging our feet” by asking for additional information from all parties.
