Police and school officials investigating alleged scam targetting international students
SAULT STE. MARIE — Police and school officials are investigating claims that an Algoma University student bilked classmates from India out of tens of thousands of dollars in a tuition payment scam.
“Algoma University is aware of these serious accusations, and we are deeply empathetic towards any affected students, and we continue to make provisions for appropriate support,” said Horst in an email to SooToday. “Upon being made aware of the accusations, the university promptly reported the incident to the authorities.
Those tuition payments would eventually end up being disputed. When pressed for repayment, the classmate would make promises to pay them back — only to cut off all contact with them.
