KHS: Impostor posed as counselor to solicit funds on behalf of school
Kagman High School says an unidentified impostor solicited and received a donation for the school’s graduation while posing as a school counselor last Friday.
KHS acting principal Leila Staffler warned businesses to be wary of possible fraud.
In an announcement to media, Staffler said that on Friday a business partner that the high school works with on a regular basis called to verify if they had received “the solicited donation for graduation.”
Staffler said they were informed that someone posing as one of their counselors was soliciting for graduation in the form of cash donations.
The impostor did not leave any contact information and said they would be the one to call for a follow up, Staffler said.
The impostor then called to inform the business that a student would pick up the donation.
“The person who picked up the donation was a male, short in stature, wearing a hat and shades in his early 20s with a small mustache,” the principal said.
Staffler would like the public to know that:
Kagman High School never asks for cash donations.
KHS would never send a student to pick up solicitation.
KHS always leaves a contact number.
Staffler urges the public to be wary of possible fraud, to call the school to confirm requests if you are suspicious at 237-3849, and to report to the police if you have been a victim of fraud.
