Scam Alert

The information below surfaced in Rhode Island and Graham and Greenlee Counties of Safford, AZ as well.

We've been alerted that there are some people fraudulently representing themselves as an "agent of United Way" offering grant dollars to seniors who need help making ends meet.  One scenario reports that an older gentleman states that he received a check via Fed Ex for $250,000 and saw his friend’s name on a list and she should take advantage of the opportunity.
