Possible Magazine Scam In Coal Run
According to Coal Run Police Chief Todd Akers, someone is going door-to-door trying to sell magazines for causes that apparently don't exist. The organizations they claim to be working for say they don't have anyone selling in this way.
The people selling use pitches like...they're raising money for tuition at Pikeville College...trying to win a National Communications Award...or, trying to raise money for families of soldiers killed in Iraq.
Akers says he's not sure if it's legit or a scam, but it would be best to ask the solicitors to return the next day, then research the companies on the internet.
