A network of fake nursing schools defrauded students out of thousands of dollars and rewarded them with bogus certifications, New York’s attorney general said Thursday.
Attorney General Eric T. Schneiderman said the five schools in Brooklyn, Queens and on Long Island ripped off students for a total of $6 million. Prosecutors say some of the schools even coordinated with a nursing program in Jamaica to provide fraudulent documents.
“These conspirators intentionally targeted people in pursuit of new opportunities, lining their pockets with others’ hard-earned money,” Schneiderman said in a statement.
