UNCW Warns of Scam

By Catherine M. Welch

Wilmington, NC – Officials at UNCW are warning residents about a door-to-door scam.

The university says salespeople who claim to be students are selling magazines and other items as a so-called fundraiser for scholarships.

The university says often the sold items are never delivered.

UNCW says it never raises money through door-to-door sales and does not sanction the practice.
