We've heard of martial arts schools or other service relate businesses with questionable business practices such as aggressive upselling, high fees, not cancelling automatic billing, etc. But what about scams directed AT the school owners themselves? Many small schools and even larger studios have received suspicious inquiries about classes, some actually losing some money to the scammers. Many of these are "chargeback scams", where the studio gives out refunds or doles out cash from a supposed prepayment, only to realize the credit card or check transaction bounces, and the studio is out a sum of dollar. Dont let this happen to you.
