hen Steven Schildbach, 36, accepted the job at Central High School, he knew that he would not have to roam the halls, to become familiar with the building. Schildbach graduated from Central High School in the year 2001. He left home to attend Florida State University and now holds a degree from the International Institute of Design and Technology which allows him to continue with the
family business of teaching. He also has a chance to do something that he loves - leading the high school band as the new Central High School Band Director. Schildbach came home to a place that holds a special memory complete with the faded echoes of laughter and with some bitter-sweet tears but all of that now-is just ancient history. There is a hidden corner of Central High School, where there is a class room, which is peaceful most of the time. That is until a group of young women and young men, open the

Many of us continuously get calls informing us that "Our records show you have not updated your free Google listing." The caller id origins of the spam call is usually unavailable. If you speak to the person, they act as if they work for Google and you need to buy services to improve your Google listing. These people are scammers and they have no affiliation with Google. Google with all their information and clout has been unable to put a stop to the scammers using their name. One of the issues is that the origin of these calls are often outside the United States, so cracking down on them is difficult. The Hernando Sun was recently the victim of a similar scam. A scammer called the winners of our Readers' Choice Awards basically telling them that they won and required them to spend $250 to receive their award. We first learned that this was happening when we received a one star review on Facebook by a business owner who was upset by this scam. We had no idea what was going on and contacted the owner in an attempt to find out more. While we were messaging back and forth with the first business owner, a doctor's office called and informed us that they had received a call that required them to make a purchase to receive their award. The doctor's office had spoken to our editor Julie previously and suspected that it was a scam. We also heard from several other businesses. The number that was left to call back was 888294-4182. Googling that number brings up several listings for Detox Trim, a See PHISHING, Page 13
