Police say a group of scam artists may have been targeting Chadron State College students recently.

Chadron Police Chief Tim Lordino said 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.
