Several have attempted to return the call which in fact is answered by Ava Schools. If you happen to receive a call from Ava Schools, please answer as it could be legitimate or important. However, if you answer and the party begins to ask information of you that is obviously not fitting of a school phone call, hang up and call 1-866-289-9633, Missouri Attorney General’s Office Buzz Off number, and give them the information regarding the phone call. As always, never give out any kind of personal information over the phone.
