Beware of Local Phone Scam Posted 21 July 2008 The Cedar Rapids Area Chamber of Commerce is warning area residents to beware of a local phone scam in which a caller is soliciting funds for a new chamber building.   Officials with the chamber yesterday, Friday, July 18, shared that they had received information from a local resident who had received such a call this week.   The caller claimed to represent the chamber and asked for a donation toward the construction of a new chamber building. Amy Johnson Boyle, marketing and communications director for the chamber says the chamber is not soliciting donations for a new building and has not authorized these calls. She urges local residents to not give money to anyone who claims to want money for this reason. The chamber is asking anyone receiving such a solicitation to call them at 398-5317.
