A warning for residents of Calaveras County: watch out for a phony telephone fundraising scam.

The Calaveras County Sheriff´s Department says someone is calling residents, asking for a ten-dollar donation to benefit the “Dead Deputies Fund”.

Officials say there´s no such fundraiser going on, and it´s important to avoid giving personal information to strangers over the phone.
