Scam Alert

BOONE, Iowa---This week, the final local send-off ceremony was held for the Iowa National Guard 2nd Brigade Combat Team. And, this week, authorities began getting complaints about a possible scam spreading across the state. Commander John Sloter of the Boone Police Department says the Boone Police Department had not received any complaints but did work with the Urbandale Police on a Fraud investigation. Sloter says solicitations are sought under the guise of assisting troops overseas. He says anyone being contacted should use caution and if assistance is needed, contact authorities.
