CHADRON, Neb. (AP) – Police say a group of scam artists may have been targeting Chadron State College students recently.
Chadron Police Chief Tim Lordino says his department is investigating whether a group that called itself “World Ventures RAT Pack” was running a pyramid scheme.
The group was offering $200 memberships that would give students discounted vacation trips. Then students could recruit additional members and receive some money back.
When police told the group’s recruiters they needed a Chadron solicitor’s license to recruit members, they shut down their meetings.
