In other news, scammers are using Facebook to create fake class reunion event pages, inviting former students and then tricking them into paying for merchandise or attending a fake event. These scams often involve promising exclusive t-shirts or other memorabilia in exchange for payment, which is never delivered. 

Here's how the scam works:

1. Fake Event Page:

Scammers create Facebook event pages that look legitimate, often mimicking official class reunion pages. 

2. Invitations and Networking:

They invite former students to join the event, leveraging Facebook's networking features to spread the word. 

3. Promoting Merchandise:

They advertise merchandise like t-shirts, claiming they're exclusive to the reunion. 

4. Tricking Attendees:

They encourage attendees to purchase merchandise or attend a supposed reunion, often using the allure of catching up with old friends. 

5. Fraudulent Collection of Funds:

Once attendees make payments, the scammers vanish with the money, leaving the victims with nothing. 

To avoid these scams:

• Verify the Event:

Do not join or pay for anything regarding the CAHS Class of 1972 that comes from Facebook. All legitimate events will appear on our website https://www.classcreator.com/Pittsburgh-Pennsylvania-Churchill-Area-1972/

• Be Cautious of Promises:

Be wary of promises of exclusive items or events that seem too good to be true. 

• Report Suspicious Activity:

If you suspect a fake event or encounter any suspicious activity, report it via the Contact Us link on the home page, as well as to Facebook and the authorities. 

We have all come a long way. However, we have lost some of our classmates along the way. This may be a good time to visit the In Memory section and remember those that are no longer with us.

Please keep visiting the website and updating your profile.  We want to keep in touch with all of you.

Looking forward to our next journey through time!

~Your Reunion Committee
