We've seen them set up pages for the students and the parents (or parents/families or other variations) with the 
graduation year. They seem to be some kind of screen printing vendor hocking non-licensed goods, and they're trying to 
build a group then leverage/monetize it at a later point.

If you have seen them ... I'm wondering what you've done about them?
