[quote=Anonymous]In college in the early 00s my freshman year a lot of the financial aid minority kids suddenly had braces after winter break. I know they were financial aid because I was in an first-gen working class orientation with them. It was like they all learned of some way to get braces paid for as dozens of them suddenly had braces that January. There was also a scandal while I was in college that college students, from rich, middle class, to poor, were knowingly scamming state food stamp cards by filling out forms locally as single adults with technically poverty solo income. That scam spread like wildfire. It lastly maybe a year or two before the state banned college students from filling out the apps like that. If such a food stamp scam can spread like wildfire among college kids, I imagine a way to get free $7000-10,000 orthodontia work would too.[/quote]
