We got a notice from our school district about an ACT Prep Scam that some parents in our district have been reporting. Just wanted to pass it along incase anyone else in the country is getting the same call:
Please be aware of a potential ACT Preparation Scam occurring in our school district. A parent recently received a call in which a company offered ACT Preparation for their student. The female representative was very vague about the company. The caller asked for credit card information during the conversation and then became rude when the parent said they were not interested in the service. The next evening an another parent received a similar call in which a male representative became hostile when told they were not interested in the service. The caller actually used the student's name in the conversation. The caller hung up when asked to provide information about the company.
