Parents of Students Who Have Taken the SAT or PSAT

 Please see below for a letter from the NYS Education Department's Privacy Office, if you have questions follow the link below for the Better Business Bureau:

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 (click here) 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,
