St. Joseph Police are warning residents of a new phone scam asking for donations in the name of the police department.
Reports say the scammers are calling asking for donations to the St. Joseph Police Department, even using the name of Police Chief Paul Luster. Reports say one victim was scammed out of over $1000 in gift cards.
The St. Joseph Police Department will never contact anyone by phone and ask for money of any sort. If you receive one of these calls its best to hang up and contact the police department.
