National Guard Warning About Scam

{Charleston, West Virginia}...West Virginia National Guard officials are warning people about a scammer who allegedly calls, identifying themselves as "Sgt. Kelly," soliciting donations from businesses to purchase calling cards for overseas West Virginia soldiers and airmen. The scammer directs callers to a website with a Beckley phone number and address, but the phone goes unanswered and the address is a vacant building. Officials say there are many legitimate organizations out there working on behalf of veterans but this is not one of them. Anyone concerned about the validity of people or organizations collecting money for military affairs can call the West Virginia National Guard Family Programs Office at 304-561-6380.
