Scam Alert – Cerebral Palsy Donations


Police are advising residents in the Ferny Grove area to be aware of two young clean cut men with checked shirts and lanyards around their necks have been door-knocking for donations to cerebral palsy.
Whilst this information has been provided specifically in relation to the Ferny Grove area, it is worth noting by local residents in case they also try it in our own area.
Police advise that one of the males does all the talking and the other doesn’t do or say much at all.  They have been known to ask for a glass of water as well.
The Cerebral Palsy League has confirmed that it does not conduct any door to door fundraising and that in most instances, the safest way of donating to a charity is via their web page.
Please contact Policelink if you come across these two characters.
You can contact Policelink on 131 444 or Policelink.qld.gov.au 24hrs a day.
