Beware of scam donation solicitations
The coronavirus pandemic has brought out those attempting to scam people wanting to assist others – including American Legion Family members. Any solicitations for donations should first be confirmed as legitimate before donating. The Department of Colorado reported a scam that involved someone claiming to be Department Commander Dean Noechel and asking for donations. Individuals receiving any type of donation solicitation should always independently verify the organization prior to making their donation.
