TOWN HALL EXPERIENCES PHONE PROBLEMS
We are experiencing severe phone problems, apparently someone or something has taken the Town's phone number and is randomly dialing all over the US using our number.
A complaint has been filed with the FCC, we are still trying to correct the problem.
We are sorry for the problems that this has caused, should you get any other phones call from this number, please disregard and there is no need to return any calls to us.
Thank you for your patience.
I just got a call from a group claiming to represent a local police charity (big red flag) while the number showed as belonging to the Alpine, WY Town Hall. (I live in Alabama.) I told them that I would not give any money over the phone but would love to look at any info they could give me. I called the number listed, and got the same message about the phones being down. Smells of a scam. Shame if it really is a legit charity. This is why I only give through the FOPA.
This number shows up at my friends house whenever i call over there. My number is a (785) area code so there is no explanation as to why this number shows up when i call.
