Scammers asking for money to buy bulletproof vests

The Davis County Sheriff’s Office has received several calls from people who say they have been contacted by someone claiming to be from the U.S. Deputy Sheriff’s Association asking for money for bulletproof vests. This is a scam. Anyone who receives solicitations for donations should try to determine the legitimacy of the organization before donating money, the DCSO said. “If you receive or have received the specific solicitation mentioned, please report it to the FTC: consumer.ftc.gov.”
