SARH Warns Of Scammers Soliciting Donations With Their Name

Officials with St. Anthony Regional Hospital (SARH) say they have learned of a phone scam that is targeting individuals in Carroll and the surrounding areas. Reports have come in that the caller says they are soliciting donations for cancer research on behalf of St. Anthony. The St. Anthony Foundation never asks for credit card information, donations or fundraising support over the phone. If a call is received from someone claiming to represent the hospital or foundation and they are requesting funds or a donation over the phone, ask that they mail the information to your home. Never trust the caller or the identification that comes up with the phone call as scammers have been able to make it appear as if the call is coming from St. Anthony. If you have received such a call, you can contact St. Anthony at their listed number, 792-3581, to verify the legitimacy of the call. The foundation has been in touch with local law enforcement and the Iowa Attorney General’s office to make them aware of this situation.
