Dear Stuyvesant Families, We received the following message from the New York State Education Department. Please read and review. Dear parent or guardian, Please let this serve as a reminder that you should not share personal or financial information over the phone with unsolicited callers. If you receive such a call, hang up immediately. We are sending this reminder because parents and/or guardians of children who have recently taken an SAT or PSAT exam have been receiving scam calls requesting personal information, including a credit card number, to mail the test results. Additional tips about how to protect yourself from SAT test-related scams can be found on the Better Business Bureau<https://www.bbb.org/article/news-releases/23883-bbb-scam-alert-watch-out-for...> website and below: • Always be wary of unsolicited callers: If you receive a random call from someone asking for payment, research their organization before sharing any personal information. • Double check with your child: If someone claims they're calling because of a service your child requested, hang up and check with your child first. • Understand the College Board's practices: The College Board will never ask you for your bank or credit card information over the phone or through email. • Don't give your financial information to strangers: Never agree to pay a stranger with any form of payment for a purchase you didn't initiate. Thank you, Privacy Office and Information Security Office NYS Education Department 89 Washington Avenue Albany, NY 12234 Dina Ingram Business Manager/ Director of Family Engagement Stuyvesant High School 212-312-4800 ext. 2731 - Office 347-224-6673 - Mobile www.stuy.edu https://tinyurl.com/StuyBlog
