These scammers are tricky and are preying on the generosity of our awesome community!
And the timing couldn't be worse because our WJ Booster Club is currently doing fundraising and our HS football team will soon be doing fundraising!
Reminder: If you don't recognize the person calling, or the information has not come through our official social media pages or our local athletes, DO NOT PAY THEM! Our school programs or WJ Booster Club will not ask for credit card information or online payments over the phone.
If you have a question for the WJ Booster Club, please contact Janice Wilcox directly.
In the comments, let us know if you or your business has received one of these calls and tell us what they said! More information will be helpful for others to read so they don't get tricked by the scammers!

The West Jefferson Senior Class is doing a COOL fundraiser tomorrow, Wed. Aug. 26th at 3:15pm in front of the high school.
The Senior students invite everyone to pour cold water on them...for a price!
Students, parents and community members are welcome to participate! Bring your cash or phone to Venmo, and choose your target!
Rumor has it that there will also be teachers, coaches, and possibly even the superintendent that will be ready to have water dumped on them!
See flyer for price info!
If you can't make it in person to help the senior class raise funds for their Senior Activities, donations are accepted. Put "Senior Class" in the description of your Venmo payment.
