Officials warn of scam involving firefighters

Mark Whiteside has shared a post from the Mississippi Insurance Department.

Commissioner Mike Chaney warns of two phone scams involving firefighters now operating in the area. If you are contacted regarding donations for fallen firefighters or for the Mississippi Fire Fighter’s Association, contact the Mississippi Attorney General Jim Hood ‘s Office. Do not give out personal info via phone or email

Our Mississippi Firefighter’s Association has been “scammed”.  There are a couple of numbers being used, and they are asking for donations.  The MISSISSIPPI FIREFIGHTER’S ASSOCIATION DOES NOT ask for donations or money over the phone for any reason.
