The Eugene Police Department says to be on the lookout for a phone scam asking people to donate to a police fund
Eugene, OR – The police officials have reported that they’ve received multiple reports of a caller who has used this technique to attempt to scam a victim out of their money.
The scammer said he was trying to raise money and cited tight budgets and police working hard. The number for this specific caller was from out of state, however, callers will often spoof numbers to make them appear local.
