Lafayette School District warns seniors about phone scam

Lafayette School District Superintendent Richard Whitmore said in a June 3 announcement that the district is working with the Lafayette Police Department regarding telephone scammers who are calling local seniors with phone numbers created to look like they are coming from LafSD. "To be clear, the district is not making these calls," Whitmore noted.

Called "spoofing," scammers change a telephone number or email to disguise the actual source, making it seem like a trusted source. These calls or emails typically originate from other countries, making catching these scammers incredibly difficult. Community members are reminded to never provide any sensitive information to an unknown source. To report a scam, contact the Lafayette Police Department at (925) 283-3680.
