While teaching her criminal justice class at Pierce College Kim Rich noticed something a bit off with some of her students. “It was very unusual how everything was being done,” said Rich. “The discussions were identical. The assignments were identical and I just felt something was off.” With her law enforcement background, Rich discovered that at least 30% of her students were fake and possibly stealing financial aid money. After looking at a class roster, Rich believes 40 of her students were fake, one of whom, listed their name as “5100,” and another using a fake identity.
