Beware: Fraudulent PTO Emails
We have been informed that there are scammers pretending to be the Prairie PTO, asking for gift cards to be sent to random people. The scammers have created fake email accounts that appear to be legitimate based on the sender’s name, but when you look at the source email, it does not match the actual accounts. Some individuals have received messages from this email: pto.president1010@gmail.com. THIS IS NOT A LEGITIMATE PRAIRIE PTO EMAIL ACCOUNT.
Actual Prairie PTO accounts include:
For the record, when the PTO requests donations they will direct you to their official Barrington 220 Revtrak Account OR they request that gift cards and donated items be dropped off at the Prairie front office.
We’re also seeing imposter Facebook and Instagram accounts for other PTOs in the district. Use the following links to keep up with the Prairie PTO on Facebook and Instagram.
