VIDEO: Stevens Point authorities are asking the public to stay vigilant to a potential "scam" going around the area. A group called "Volunteer Fire Fighter Alliance" is soliciting funds under the departments name, fire chief Robert Finn posted on Facebook. Finn said the department is in no way connected to the group. According to the press release, the group is targeting businesses to buy ads and individuals for money donations. "We're worried that people will believe that this is something that if they write a check to the organization that the money will stay in the community," Stevens Point attorney Andrew Beveridge said.
