Parents, please be aware of a phone scam targeting families with high school students preparing for the SAT or ACT.

Scammers are calling households using your child’s name, school information, and even test dates to make their pitch sound legitimate. They claim your child requested study materials and offer to send flash drives and other resources. But here’s the catch:

They ask for a “refundable deposit” of $249. They say you’ll receive materials by mail. You’re told to return the flash drives within 30 days to get your money back. In reality, the materials never arrive, and your money is gone.

This scam has been flagged by the Better Business Bureau, which confirms that scammers are impersonating organizations like the College Board to steal personal and financial information. The College Board does not solicit payments or personal info over the phone.
