Shelby Firefighter Targeted in scam

Posted by 0Kendra on September 21, 2011 at 9:33pm in Mr Bruns 360 Message Board

Michael Collins, a voluteer firefighter from Shelby was hit by a car earlier this week in the line of duty. As if that wasn't bad enough, now a telemarketer has started calling people with a fake fund for the family asking for people's credit card numbers for donations. Oh, the world we live in.... Thoughts?

We got to be really careful of who we give our information to.

Why would someone do this? obviously the family is already going through something why try to make it worse? I feel so bad for the family.

I feel sorry for the guy. I wouldn't want to give money toward a fund and then find out that it was a scam. Micheal must feel really bad that all of this money is bein gdonated and it was a scam.

This is awful. Why would someone ever think of even doing that. Do people not have sympathy or feelings anymore theses days or what?

I feel bad for Collins's family. The telemarketer has a problem if he is going to use Collins's death to try to get money for himself.
