Fond du Lac Police Department cautions residents against ‘creative’ social media scam involving pet urination on July 4
FOND DU LAC, Wis. (WFRV) – A fake social media post spread around over the weekend, prompting a response from the Fond du Lac Police Department (FDLPD).
The post was a fake press release that was portrayed as a compensation offer from the City of Fond du Lac. The ‘release’ claimed that the FDLPD would issue a one-time reimbursement of $500 to anybody whose pet urinated on their carpet or furniture as a result of fireworks.
The FDLPD’s response on Facebook referred to the post as “Creative, but today’s scam of the day.”
