SCAM WARNING

Fundraising calls — A Lebanon woman called the Democrat-Herald with a warning about what appeared to be a scam.

Here’s what she said happened:

On Sept. 29, she received a call from a Beaverton phone number. The caller claimed to be raising money for St. Jude. The person said they would send her an envelope that she could return with a donation. The woman told them no and when she later called the number it was not in service.

On Monday, the woman got another call from the same number and this time the people said they were raising money for families of fallen soldiers and police officers. When the woman questioned them about being the same people claiming to raise money for St. Jude, they hung up.
