Fraud of the SAT Cottage Industry

Have any of you watched the new NAAS-NEWS video called "Fraud of the SAT Cottage Industry. ?

It is a great video. The video deals with the SAT cottage industry. Millions of dollars each year are being made by The College Board, and members of the National Association of Student Financial Aid Administrators (NASFAA; their alphabet-related pet dog, NACAC, is run by Valerie Williams.

Experts, news media, and many persons, consider the SAT test to be an untrue indicator of potential success. In fact, the SAT test has been accused of being racist, unfair, and unnecessary. Yet, over many years, many member colleges and universities of NASFAA have required that students take the test. This collaboration of NASFAA/NACAC members has provided fertile ground for fraud, and immense profits.

Students and parents should not be forced to take the SAT test. Also, NASFAA and The College Board both have ties dating back to 1996 with federal informant Mark Kantrowitz. Kantrowitz fed bogus information to the DOJ, USPS, and the FTC. His business of deceit ("financial-aid expert", and false "Reliability Reports") and evasion was sponsored by NASFAA.

Several years later, the N.Y. Attorney General busted many members of NASFAA for the student-loan fraud crisis. This proves you cannot trust a counselor who is a member of NASFAA/NACAC. Many news-reporters continue to quote Kantrwitz but do not disclose his background and work as a federal informant.

Deutsche Bank, a German financial sector is focusing mainly on personal and corporate banking segments showing massive growth potential in state of Maharashtra.

Deutsche Bank, on Monday, opened its 13th branch in India with an aim to attract German companies and major Indian corporates based in western Maharashtra region.

Addressing the reporters before the launch, Deutsche Bank India CEO Gunit Chadha said, “Even if the global financial services sector is experiencing turmoil, we continue to grow in India, which is our biggest market in Asia. Our focus remains on personal and corporate banking, which are among the largest segments for us.”

Currently Deutsche Bank is having a capital of Rs 6,900 crore though it is doing a business of Rs 23,000 crore within India. The bank is already having two branches in Mumbai carrying out operations each in Aurangabad and Kolhapur in Maharashtra.

Maharashtra is a crucial state for us and we will continue to grow here. Pune is a crucial city considering the industrial belt it has around and a strong presence of German companies in this region,” he added.

Phone number: 775-293-4515

Anybody know the address of the criminals behind this phone number? We have tracked down their names, and status. They seem to have a track record for harassing Americans. A Google search demonstrates that their telephone calls are harrassing a number of Americans.

These calls violate express NAAS EAS/N2 Rules, and possibly federal and local anti-harassment laws.

We know they are in White Pine county, in Ely, Nevada. Apparently, the Russians or NASFAA officials are angry at our anti-Socialist news reports.

Hey, we were not the ones who underpinned the student-loan crisis, or who used crooked financial-aid counselors associated with NACAC to deceive parents and students. Also, we did not hire a nerdy federal informant by the name of Kantrowitz to generate referrals. We were not the ones who used Carnegie Mellon University as a base of Socialist and Communist political dogma; read the Kantrowitz connections to the NASFAA, Monster Inc., DOJ, FTC, and USPS, and his use of CMU addresses.

Also, we were not the organization called to the carpet by the New York Attorney General. Let's face the facts: persons and financial-aid counselors associated with NASFAA, and their government moles still have no respect for the U.S. Constitution, nor the rights of common Americans.

I suspect many of these obnoxious phone calls, are associated with persons who appear in NAAS Media Reports.

Newly updated NAAS website

What do think of the NAAS website?? Any suggestions, additions, or questions??
