The South Roane County Volunteer Fire Department has issued a scam warning regarding fraudulent comments appearing on posts for their upcoming “Cruise-In For a Cause” event. Scammers are pretending to represent the department, falsely claiming that vendor spots are still available, and instructing people to contact them directly for bookings.

The department explicitly advises the public not to respond to these comments or send money to anyone unless the communication originates directly from their official page or official email address. Although the department is actively blocking and reporting these fake accounts, they are urging the community to remain vigilant and assist them by reporting any fraudulent comments they encounter.
