SALEM — The Salem Police Department is alerting the public to a possible scam in the area.
The PD says it’s received multiple reports from both individuals and local businesses that they have received calls from an individual falsely claiming to represent the Salem Country Club and Golf Course.
The scammer is attempting to sell club memberships. However, police have confirmed with the manager of the Salem Country Club that this is not a representative of the club.
If you have business with the Salem Country Club, you can contact them at (618) 548-2975.
As always, use caution when receiving unexpected phone calls and avoid giving out personal information. Don’t ever send funds using gift cards as this is popular with scams.
