On January 27, 2015 an incident was reported to the Kanawha County Sheriff’s Office regarding a telephone scam.  The call came to the Oaks Tree Inn in Comfort, WV.  A male caller said he was with the Kanawha County Sheriff’s Office and was raising money for underprivileged children, and that he needed a place to stay.  He said he would provide additional documentation, which has not yet been received.

 

Although no money or services were exchanged with this complainant, investigators are curious if any other people were victimized.  The Kanawha County Sheriff’s Office is not conducting any fundraising efforts, nor are non-profit organizations doing so with use of the office’s name.  If you have been the victim of a scam of this sort, please call 304-357-0169 to report the incident.
