Butte School District Warns of Scam Calls Using School Phone Numbers
The district said it will never request financial or insurance details by phone and urged residents to hang up on suspicious calls.
Butte School District is warning the community about phone calls appearing to come from a district number that request confidential information from residents.
The district stated it will never ask for financial or insurance information over the phone; residents should hang up and contact the administration building directly.
Separately, Lancaster Catholic High School in Lancaster County temporarily deactivated student email accounts after phishing emails were sent from compromised student and staff accounts.
Phishing messages contained subject lines such as "Birthday Bash Invitation" and "New Document Ready For Review," with the school advising the community not to open emails or click links.
Once accounts are restored, students and families will receive instructions for regaining access; those who entered personal information should "contact Lancaster Catholic immediately," the school said.
