R-6 District officials say solicitations are not authorized

SIKESTON -- Area residents are being cautioned that an email claiming to sell advertisements for a high school calendar is a scam.

Some area businesses and individuals this week received an email from "CW Promotions" with "Project Manager Samantha Woodward" soliciting advertisements for the "2017 Sikeston High School All Sports District Schedule Calendar."

"We have not given this company permission to use our sports calendar and solicit advertising," Sikeston R-6 Superintendent Tom Williams said early Thursday.

It's not sanctioned by Sikeston R-6 Schools and is a scam. Residents are encouraged to not respond to any emails they may receive from "CW Promotions."

On Wednesday, the Daily Dunklin Democrat newspaper in Kennett reported the Kennett Chamber received notification of a scam regarding the same company and project manager soliciting advertisements for a Kennett High School sports calendar.
