The Minot Police Department has received several reports of a fund raising scam attempt.

Callers are reporting that an organization identifying itself as “Police Action Fund” is raising donations on behalf of the Minot Police Department.  No agreement exists between any fundraising organization and the Minot Police Department. Also, we do not solicit donations by phone for any reason.

Unless a person has actually suffered a financial loss from this scam attempt, there is no need to contact the police department. However, anyone is welcome to contact the North Dakota Attorney General’s Office, Consumer Protection Division at 1-800-472-2600 or on line at https://attorneygeneral.nd.gov/consumer-resources for further information and reporting on scams.
