Binghamton Police are warning of a door-to-door scam. Police say it involves the sale of stolencandy bars; or taking orders for Christmas decorations. In either case, cash is required up front. According to police, the juveniles involved in the scam, claim that the candy sale is for a local church, but no legitimate fundraiser exists for the church. In one incident, a juvenile asked to use the homeowner’s bathroom and ransacked a bedroom while inside the house. In another case, an adult was accompanying the juveniles. Police say you can always verify fundraisers from schools or churches before making any purchases. Most door-to-door fundraisers accept checks. Never allow strangers to enter your home. If you believe you were a victim of this scam in the City of Binghamton, please notify the Binghamton Police at 607-723-5321.
