Huron County OPP warning about teddy bear donation scam

Some fraudsters are back at it in Huron County.

The OPP says they’ve received some calls over the last couple of weeks from people who’ve gotten fundraising cold calls.

Some of the recipients report the callers have said they’re looking for donations to buy teddy bears to be used by the police or police retirees.

The callers say the teddy bears will be given to aid children in a crisis situation.

The OPP is reminding people that they do not solicit funds from members of the community.
