February 19 2024- The Oakland Unified School District is urging families to remove their phone numbers from social media due to a rising issue of fake scams targeting parents. In these scams, callers pretend to be from the child’s school, expressing anger and threatening consequences for unpaid debts to the school district. Although the calls are fraudulent, they have been causing distress among Oakland families. The school district is taking steps to address and raise awareness about these scams, advising parents to safeguard their contact information on social media platforms.
