Man arrested after LU fundraising scam
A man was arrested after Lincoln University warned of a fundraising scam toward local businesses and residents.
A man was approaching people saying he is a representative of the university and the school’s radio station, KJLU, looking for donations to build a home for foster children.
Lincoln University confirmed the solicitation is a scam, and it does not rely on door-to-door donations.
Anyone who feels uncertain about someone claiming to be raising money on behalf of the school is urged to call the Office of University Advancement at 573-681-6070.
The man is in Jefferson City Police custody as of Tuesday afternoon.
