Business proprietors in Lawrence and Giles Counties are urged to remain vigilant regarding a fraudulent scheme that has emerged in their communities. Representatives from The Shelter, Inc. have reported that some business owners have been contacted by individuals purporting to collect funds on behalf of the organization. However, officials have clarified that no one has been granted permission to solicit donations for The Shelter.
In light of this situation, business owners are strongly advised against contributing to these unauthorized collectors. To ensure the legitimacy of any donation inquiries, individuals are encouraged to reach out directly to The Shelter by calling 931-762-1115 for verification. This proactive measure will help prevent potential scams and protect the integrity of charitable contributions in the area.
