Alexandria Police Foundation Scam Call Alert

Calls targeting residents on behalf of police youth camp

The Alexandria Police Foundation is asking residents to be aware of solicitation phone calls purported to be on behalf of the foundation’s youth camp. The foundation and the Alexandria Police Youth Camp have learned that a company contracted out by the Virginia Fraternal Order of Police, is making calls to residents and business owners in the city asking for donations for the foundation and its youth camp. The Alexandria Police Foundation and the Alexandria Police Youth Camp will never make phone calls asking for donations. The money solicited from these calls does not get returned to the foundation or its youth camp. Alexandria Police Foundation executive director Ginny Obranovich is asking anyone who receives such a call to contact the Alexandria Police Foundation at 571-225-3948 or email ginny@alexandriapolicefoundation.org.
