Scammers target NSW PCYC for 'donations'
Cluey phone scammers have used a NSW government budget announcement to launch a hoax campaign for funding "donations" to the state's Police Citizens Youth Clubs (PCYC) branches.
Police Minister Troy Grant on Friday revealed nearly $40 million would be allocated for four new clubs and upgrades to five existing facilities, and the scammers are now calling residents claiming their local funding has been pulled and donations will be needed to fill the void.
"I am disgusted that someone would stoop so low as to do this," PCYC NSW chief executive Dominic Teakle said in a statement on Saturday.
