YMCA Phone Scam Alert


On November 21, 2011 at 5 PM, Officers were dispatched to the YMCA for a fraud complaint. Upon arrival the complainant stated to Officers that the YMCA had received a complaint from a member who had received a phone call from someone soliciting donations on behalf of the YMCA.  The YMCA member who received the phone call didn't provide a donation, but instead contacted the YMCA because they were concerned about the legitimacy of the call. The YMCA advised responding Officers that the YMCA is not soliciting for donations at this time.  Officers encourage the public to contact the Police Department at 920-746-2450 if they receive similar calls.
