The South-Central Human Resource Agency is issuing a warning to the community regarding possible scams linked to Community Service Block Grants. It is important to note that the agency does not require any form of payment in exchange for its services. The programs offered by South-Central are funded through federal and state resources, ensuring that individuals receive necessary assistance at no cost.
Unfortunately, some individuals are impersonating agency staff members in an attempt to deceive the public. To help residents protect themselves, the agency has provided several guidelines for verifying the identity of staff and ensuring secure communication. One key point to remember is that the agency will never accept applications or request personal information via social media platforms like Facebook.
To confirm the legitimacy of any communication, individuals are encouraged to visit the official website at www.schra.us, where they can find accurate contact information for agency personnel. If you receive a call or message from someone claiming to be affiliated with the agency, it is advisable to reach out directly to the office to verify their identity. The Central Office can be contacted at 800-221-2642 for any inquiries.
Additionally, when receiving emails, ensure that they originate from the verified domain, schra.us, to avoid potential phishing attempts. If you come across any suspicious behavior or are asked for payment, it is crucial to report these incidents immediately.
