North Platte Public Schools warns of scam

NORTH PLATTE, Neb. (KNOP) - Officials with the North Platte Public Schools and their affiliates are warning the community, particularly local businesses of a scam happening in North Platte.

Apparently, a marketing firm has been calling local businesses and claiming they are working with the School District and/or an affiliated organization to help fundraise by adding business logos to a t-shirt. The North Platte Public School District, Foundation, Booster Club, Activities Offices, and Student Organizations have not authorized any firm to solicit funds on their behalf.  The school encourages businesses to take caution if they receive a call from an outside firm claiming they are working with them.
