Se están perpetrando estafas relacionadas con materiales de preparación para exámenes universitarios

Recientemente, hemos escuchado acerca de unas estafas dirigidas contra los padres de estudiantes de escuela secundaria que se están preparando para ingresar a la universidad. Los estafadores dicen que son de The College Board, la organización responsable de los exámenes PSAT y SAT. Estos estafadores te llaman o te envían un email para pedirte los números de tu tarjeta de crédito para poder enviarte los materiales de preparación para el examen PSAT que supuestamente ha pedido el estudiante. A menudo, los estafadores tienen el nombre, domicilio y número de teléfono del estudiante, lo cual los hace más creíbles. Excepto que tu estudiante no ha pedido los materiales y no te están llamando de parte de este grupo.

Te listamos algunas recomendaciones para evitar una estafa de preparación para exámenes.

  • The College Board nunca te pedirá que le des la información de tu tarjeta de crédito, cuenta bancaria ni tu contraseña por teléfono ni por email.
  • Asegúrate de que la compañía que está ofreciendo los materiales de preparación sea legítima. ¿Cómo? Antes de entregar tu dinero o tu información personal, investiga a la compañía en internet. Busca ingresando su nombre y agrega la palabra “scam” o “complaint”, si haces la búsqueda en español, usa palabras como "estafa" o "queja". Fíjate en las experiencias de otras personas. Y antes de pagar, habla con alguien de tu confianza, por ejemplo, con otro padre o con el consejero de la escuela de tu hijo.
  • Considerar el medio de pago. Las tarjetas de crédito tienen un nivel importante de protección contra el fraude, eso significa que si descubres que le pagaste a un estafador, tal vez puedas recuperar tu dinero si lo reportas rápidamente. Y si alguien te pide que le pagues por medio de una transferencia de dinero o usando una tarjeta recargable o tarjeta de regalo, es una estafa.

v “María Corina es de hierro”. No, es de oro puro.

v La brutalidad con la que arremeten contra María Corina, mide el peligro que ven en ella”. Pa’lante valiente.

v “Comunidad internacional consternada por el criminal ataque contra María Corina”, mientras Venezuela rechaza ese primitivismo asesino.

v “Algo se está cocinando a fuego lento”. Ese plato ya va a estar listo.

v “De Lula al anti-Lula”. Viva la democracia.

v “Andrés Pastrana: Maduro es el nuevo Pablo Escobar”, el capo del narco-régimen.

v “Eurodiputados piden a la Unión Europea llevar a Maduro ante la Corte Penal Internacional”, votaron 268 a favor y 25 en contra.

v “Europa pide investigación inmediata e independiente de la muerte del concejal Albán”, a quien hicieron volar de un piso 10, luego de haberlo asesinado.

v “Venezuela concreta alianza con Air Europa para desarrollo turístico”, dirán a los turistas que traigan comida, papel toalet y chaleco antibalas.

v “La inflación venezolana devora dólares y euros, y fulmina el bolívar”. “La hiperinflación se come las remesas”.

v “Juan Barreto: La anc fue desmantelada”, la verdad es que nunca existió de conformidad con la norma, fue y es inconstitucional.

v “Rechazamos la pretensión de España de que la Unión Europea cambie sanciones por diálogo con Venezuela”. El gobierno español perdió la brújula, lo que falta es que proponga que Zapatero coordine el diálogo que sugiere.

v “Saab: Castigaremos severamente los allanamientos arbitrarios”. Te creeré cuando digas, quién mató al concejal.
               
v “Sistemas de seguridad de PDVSA no funcionan”. Allí no funciona nada.

v “Diosdado: La FANB está vacunada contra los golpes”. Eso es verdad, hasta que pasa el efecto de la vacuna.

v “Se agudiza la escasez de gasolina en toda Venezuela”. La gasolina es explosiva, ¿O no?

v “Las lluvias sin control parecen maduristas por los efectos que causan”. Que cesen las lluvias destructoras.

v “Venezuela ocupa el puesto 179 en el índice de libertad económica”. El puesto 180 corresponde a Corea del Norte.

v “¿Quién responde por la muerte de Fernando Albán?”. Ese es un muerto de Maduro.

What are the long-term impacts of building an entire city on what was once a sandbar and mangrove swamp? Misael Soto asks that question through “Sand: Amphitheater, Theater, Arena,” where the visual artist will construct a gathering and performance space on Miami Beach from 11,000 sandbags. Over the course of three events beginning this Sunday, October 28, the structure at Collins Park, steps from the ocean, will welcome residents with artistic programming designed to build common ground around what sustainable living might mean in South Florida.

Here’s how to participate:
All activities to take place in Collins Park, 2100 Collins Avenue

Sand: Amphitheater: Sunday, October 28 | 4 PM - 6 PM: Using sand as a literal and metaphorical foundation, the event will consist of a multidisciplinary exploration of the area’s history and its ecosystem, and examine how our decisions along the way led us to present day South Florida.

Sand: Theater: Saturday, November 3 | 5 PM - 7 PM: As the structure transforms into a performance space, local artists and writers are invited to tell new stories through performance, music, film, and readings of poetry and prose. These will be retellings of the past as well as potential futures and parallel universes, with the hope of building a collective present.

Sand: Arena: Saturday, November 17 | 3 PM - 5 PM: What can we learn about human consumption and our effects on the planet by focusing on one simple natural resource? As the space transforms into an arena, a wide range of voices will gather to share, question and learn from each other, in the Greek tradition of dialogue and exchange.

"Art Deco" has come to evoke a set of styles that emerged in the 1920s and 1930s out of aspirations to fuse art and industry into a modern language of design. From exquisite handcrafted objects to streamlined household appliances, can all be seen at the Wolfosnian during their new exhibit, Deco: Luxury to Mass Market.

The items on display in Deco will demonstrate how American designers adapted a style associated with European luxury to the demands of industrial mass production. Through decorative arts, product design, architecture, and graphics from the Wolfsonian collection, the exhibition will trace Art Deco’s origins in Europe, its migration to the United States, and its evolution into a fully American style—perhaps most spectacularly realized on Miami Beach in the 1930s.
