Scam alert issued for Panther families
428 logo

Great Bend High School wants to inform families about a recent phone scam. A parent reported receiving a call from someone claiming their student requested ACT study materials and then asking for credit card information. When the parent asked follow-up questions, the caller quickly hung up.

A similar scam occurred in 2019, district officials reported, with the reminder that ACT will NEVER ask for credit card information over the phone.

Do not share personal or financial information with unsolicited callers.
