The suspect has allegedly been distributing fraudulent checks to students after offering them a grant with his fake business. So far, at least two MTSU students have fallen for the scheme, and according to investigators from the MTSU Police Department, more students are expected to come forward.

The first case was reported back in October, and the most recently, today– Tuesday, Nov 18.

The suspect goes by the name of “KG,” and is known to drive a gray/silver Dodge Charger. He previously had an Instagram account with the handle @kg1k, but has since deleted it.
