hcox+FollowThe “Shared Card Info” Group Chat in a College DormWhen I studied in Michigan, a friend accidentally got added to a Telegram group with over 200 students. Every day someone posted: “Got extra SNAP balance — can help place orders.” They privately sent their SNAP card number and PIN to someone who bought non-food items—laundry detergent, toilet paper—then resold them in the dorm. One girl even said, “I’m tired of canned food. I’d rather trade my balance for necessities.” Then someone got scammed— over $300 of her balance vanished overnight. The group exploded with accusations, but no one reported anything. Because everyone was involved. #SNAPFraud #CampusLife #EBTScams #StudentStruggles #SNAPReality00Share
