Understanding the Scams Targeting MLFD Donors
Scam callers are impersonating charity organizations to trick residents into donating funds for the MLFD (Mainland Fire Department). It is vital to recognize these fraudulent schemes as MLFD does not reach out via telephone for financial support.
How to Protect Yourself
- Verify the Caller: Always check the legitimacy of the organization.
- Do Not Share Personal Information: Never provide sensitive information over the phone.
- Report Suspicious Calls: Notify local authorities if you encounter a scam.
What Should Residents Know?
MLFD has issued clear statements to inform the public about these deceptive calls. The Fire Department reassures the community that they rely on fundraising events and community support, not on unsolicited phone requests.
