Community Scam Alert

            (February 2010) Please be informed that there has been an unknown male individual allegedly traveling to personal residences in a dark colored Ford Taurus claiming to be an employee of the Lumbee Tribe of North Carolina offering services, requesting to check blood pressure and to see personal medications.
            Please be advised that the Lumbee Tribe of North Carolina in no way, shape or form will ever send an employee to a personal residence without first being contacted by a tribal member who has requested a service that requires a home visit. The Lumbee Tribe of North Carolina does not specialize in the medical field nor does it have employees that are employed for medical purposes to visit personal or commercial residences.
            If you have not personally contacted the Lumbee Tribe of North Carolina and spoken to a representative who has made an appointment to be at your home do not open the door to anyone claiming to be from the Lumbee Tribe of North Carolina. Employees from the Tribal office are always identified by their tribal identification card which will either be hanging around their neck or attached to their collar stating their name and which department they are affiliated with.  Even if an individual visits you at your home with what you may think is sufficient identification, do not let a stranger into your residence if you do not know why they are there and have not requested them to be there.   If ever you feel at risk you should always contact your local authorities.
