Recent Scam Emails
Information regarding a wave of recent phishing and scam email to students.
Yesterday, August 12, the technology team was informed of an email circulating to student Gmail accounts that seemed to come from a school staff member. The email, with the subject line, " JOB OPPORTUNITY FOR STUDENTS", included information regarding a remote work opportunity. Based on information collected, the email provided a link that directed students to provide bank account information so a check could be deposited into their account.
Please be advised, if your student receives this email, it is a scam and should be deleted immediately. If your student already clicked the link and provided any personal or bank information, please reach out to your bank for steps to secure the account. The technology team has made every effort to block and lock out the bad actor and will be monitoring for any additional scam attempts.
