Beware of Riverside Scrip Scam!!!
Posted: Thu Jul 08, 2010 8:22 pm
Please be advised that a ring of people is targeting churches and other organizations including High School Band Boosters in the Riverside area who offer Scrip.
Several organizations have already been victimized.
The story goes like this:
The person contacting you is a relative of a member or supporter of your program. They are a realtor and they use the gift cards to give out to clients. They may show up at your practice or e-mail you. They will order several hundred dollars and try to pay with a check. The check is drawn on a Realtor's Account (like Century 21) or may be a personal check.
The problem is that the checks are fake.
Just wanted to pass this on as information is power.
