It has been announced that a scam is occurring in the area.

Danielle Kane, assistant director intern at the Washington Chamber says that Dr. Mike Jorgenson, superintendent of Washington Schools, informed the Chamber of the scam in which someone from Texas is calling in an effort to solicit sponsors for a t-shirt on behalf of Washington Schools and magnets for Stewart Elementary.

It is advised that people do not give the caller money.

Again, this is a scam occurring in the Washington area.
