A Greenville resident claims to be the victim of a fraudulent fundraising scheme involving Domino’s Gift Cards.
The resident said “3 young girls came to my door selling Domino’s discount cards for $10, so I bought one with a $20. They said they didn’t have any change, so one girl ran back to a small grey car and brought back 2 beat-up $5s. They have my name and number. I have yet to hear back or receive a card. I don’t know what’s going on, but please be careful if you try to help them out.”
Unfortunately, this is a common scheme used across the country. Teenaged children or young adults will go door-to-door selling gift cards to different places as some sort of
‘fundraiser”.
Dominoes was unable to be reached for comment on the story, but it seems like the pizza chain was probably just chosen by random.
Be on the lookout! If some is selling something that they do not have on hand to exchange for money on the spot, there is a chance that is a scam and you are better off passing on the often too good to be true offer.
When in doubt you can also call the company (Dominoes in this case) and verify the authenticity of the fundraising campaign.
