If you get a call from Windsor police asking you for money as part of a fundraiser, don't give them your money or any personal information.
Police issued a warning about that scam via social media on Friday, after a resident got a call from someone claiming to be from Windsor police, asking for donations.
When the caller asked the person for credit card and other personal information, the resident immediately contacted police.
Police said they don't cold-call people for any reason, including fundraising.
