0:00Rally police just dropped the heads up on a sneaky scam targeting their shot with a cop program. That's the annual holiday fundraiser where cops team up with kids for shopping sprees, but it's not running right now. Scammers are faking it to snag your cash and info. They're hitting people through phone calls, emails, social media posts, and even mail. These fraudsters pretend to collect donations for the event while pushing for your personal details or bank info. Folks across Rally are reporting these shady contacts, and it's got everyone on edge about holiday giving gone wrong. The real programs all about community good vibes, not pressuring anyone for money. Police are clear. They never call asking for donations, never threaten you, and won't hit you up that way at all. No legit cop is dialing for dollars. If a suspicious call comes in, hang up fast, don't share a thing, try to record it, jot down the number, and hit up real Rally PD right away too. Support it, stay sharp out there y'all. That wraps Durham news today, brought to you with AI.
