The Wharton County Stray Pet Outreach Team or SPOT warns of a scam targeting those seeking help. A resident was tricked into paying $15 via CashApp after contacting an old phone number. They were told to wait at a location for assistance that never arrived. SPOT President Christine Stransky confirmed SPOT doesn’t operate this way and reported the scam. Another resident lost $30 similarly. SPOT now has a new number and only asks for donations, not payments. If you are scammed, report it to Wharton PD.
