An area law-enforcement agency is alerting the public about a scam.
According to the Boonville Police Department, a Boonville resident reported that she received a call from a person asking for donations for the police department. Authorities say smartly, she was aware this was a scam and didn’t lose any money.
The police department says “Please be aware that the Boonville Police Department does not ever solicit donations by telephone. Do not give any money to anyone purporting to be collecting for law enforcement without making sure it is legitimate.”
