This group is not one within the Fielding PTFA WhatsApp Community. Instead, it was created several years ago.

Unfortunately, this is a known scam. Within these groups individuals are offering tickets for sale for upcoming concerts and high-profile events. These tickets do not exist, and the groups have been created with the sole purpose of obtaining money or personal details from parents.

We aren’t aware of any issues with groups that sit under the Fielding PTFA WhatsApp Community and all new groups have to be approved by the Community Admin. But please remain vigilant. 

We advise all parents using WhatsApp to: 

• ⁠Double check if any new users join a group, especially if you have no new starters in the class
• ⁠Review any older Fielding affiliated groups you are part of that are not under the Fielding WhatsApp Community and consider leaving if they are no longer active in the purpose they were originally set up for 
• ⁠Do not share WhatsApp Group links on any public forum or website
• Pay attention to messages labelled ‘Forwarded many times’
• Review your class groups annually to ensure you can identify that everyone in the group has a child in the class
