There is another donation scam taking place outside of local Vista stores. The most recent incident happened outside of the Walmart Supercenter at 1800 University Drive on Sunday. While we are always looking for help to serve more kids, we will never have our Club kids ask for donations in front of stores.
In the past, scammers have also been spotted at Food For Less and Stater Brother’s in Vista. People asking for these donations are not from Boys & Girls Clubs and apparently pay the kids a portion of the donations received. San Diego County Sheriff’s Department continues to look into these incidents and we need your help to stop the illegal fundraising.
Anyone who sees people asking for donations, please let the store manager know and contact Club CEO Matt Koumaras at 760-724-6606 ext. 10 or at matt@bgcvista.com.
