Whanganui people are being warned not to be taken in by a phone scam that claims to be raising money for the RSA.
Rod Hart, who manages Club Metro (the merged RSA and Cosmopolitan clubs) and is president of the Wanganui RSA welfare fund, said he had been made aware
that calls have been made to Whanganui people. However, the RSA does not telephone individuals or businesses to ask for donations.
"That's not how we raise money," Hart said.
"We've been alerted by the police in Christchurch about this scam. If anyone is contacted they should hang up and ring the police with details."
A police spokesperson said people should not engage with anyone on the phone if they think they are being scammed.
