One resident had received a phone call from someone who identified themselves as a member of the national fireman’s associations who was aggressive in their intent to gain personal information and a monetary donation.
Delaware County Sheriff Craig DuMund said in a news release that just because someone identifies themselves or organization using the words police, firefighter or first responder, it doesn’t make them a legitimate recognized organization.
The DCSP suggests the following:
- Don’t be intimidated if you receive one of these calls
- Ask for identification as many states require fundraising organizations to have legal credentials.
- Ask how your contribution will be used
- Never give donations through credit debit or cash with verification.
- Be aware of rewards you may receive if you make a donation
