The American Council on Education says GED test scams are on the rise.

GED stands for General Education Development, and its a test that reflects high school curriculum standards nationwide. The American Council on Education says people are getting scammed into paying a lot of money to take what they thought were the official GED tests, only to find it, it was fake. The Council says the GED tests cannot be taken online or through the mail. The test can only be taken in person at an official GED testing center.

I have recieved hundreds of letters, requesting payments ranging from Five To 300 dollars for info. to claim Sweeps-Prizes! Even Certified-Mail.From places as Divergent as NY,Ca,Fl,Tx, Vegas,Kansas! They Promised Prizes of 10-Thousand to 12- Million Dollars. I could have paid out upwards of $5,000, if I had done as I was advised to do by these Scams! My Question Is-Can the Gov't. stop these thieves,from trying to steal desperate peoples money? In times like these people under Pressure,will fall for Scams that lure them with promises of money.The scamers must be takeing some people or they wouldn't continue to operate ?
