WARNING to other rescue groups

Be very careful of any large donations you may receive.

GRA recently received a donation by check in the amount of $3,780 from a law firm in Louisiana. A few days after deposit, but before the check cleared, a representative from the law firm contacted GRA, stating that there had been a bookkeeping error and the check was supposed to have been for $2,000. Could GRA kindly remit the balance by cashier’s check right away?

Both the law firm and the representative seemed to check out, so GRA issued a cashier’s check for $1,780. Needless to say, the original check did not clear and GRA lost funds that were much needed for medical treatment of two elderly greyhounds who recently entered our program.

We have since learned that the scammers have used this law firm’s name to commit the same fraud against multiple other rescues. The “representative” has never been affiliated with the law firm.

We all know that scams are out there and we do our best to be vigilant. This operation was smooth and plausible, so be very careful with your donations and never issue a refund before the original check clears.

We are sharing this in hopes it may save another rescue from making the same mistake.
