I got a letter I think is a scam. It's claims it from Georgia Institute of Technolongy. But the seal is missing. I applied at Tech nearly 20byear ago. Is this a scam?

Why not post it with your name redacted?

Or Google the text and see where it leads.

Was it about the security breach? I've heard that some people who applied there but aren't actually students received the letter too.

Of course I did. I thought all males were automatically accepted to Ga Tech whether they applied or not?

That they had a security breach last year. And they will enroll me in something called MyID for a year on Tech.

I’m pretty sure this is valid. Same thing with auburn.

I got partially accepted to tech. They said I had to take cal I and 2 and a few other classes somewhere else first and I was like “no thanks.” I wonder how different my life would have been.

Also, frick tech. Your a tech school and you can’t protect your ducking data. Wtf, what are you teaching your students

Not a scam. They’re just backed up a bit reviewing applications. Good luck at Tech!!!!

If that's how they actually spelled it, then there's a good chance it's a scam.

I got the same letter from LSU a year or so ago. They had a security breach at their enrollment office and personal information was taken. They offered the free year with some ID protection program. I didn’t sign up, and nothing ever came of it.
