2 Misdemeanor complaints of Fraud were received. One complaint consisted of a resident receiving a phone call from a
State Police Agency requesting donations. Upon reporting to this department, the resident was informed that police
agencies do not solicit donations by phone. They were also advised to not send money when and if a seemingly fraudulent
