(INDIANAPOLIS) - The Better Business Bureau is warning businesses of a new scam making the rounds in Indiana.
Someone claiming to be a police officer will call a business office asking to speak to a manager or company director by name.
They will then ask questions about anti-social behavior in the area lately.
The BBB says that's just a tactic meant to gain the victim's trust.
The scammer will then ask the victim to make a small donation to a local police community publication, just like they supposedly made in the past.
Ten minutes later, another scammer will contact the victim and ask for a donation, once again.
Kris Hicks of CPR Call Block says Indiana businesses need to be very wary of donation requests.
