"Grafton High Athletics" Scam Hits Area, Police Warn

GRAFTON, MA—If someone calls asking for a donation to the Grafton High School athletics program, hang up.

Grafton police are warning the community that the Grafton School Department has been informed that an unauthorized entity is offering business advertising on banners and t-shirts to support Grafton athletics. So far, two area businesses have paid more than $1,000 for these items without the school department knowing anything the knowledge of the school department. The company has been identified as Sports Media Advertising.

It's a scam, plain and simple, said police. "If you receive a call from this company or any other claiming that they are working on behalf of the Grafton High School Athletics Program, please disregard and do not make any purchases or provide financial information."
