John Marshall football team issues scam warning

Heads up, scammers are at it again. This time, swindlers are saying they're raising money for the John Marshall High School football team.

(ABC 6 News) – Heads up, scammers are at it again. This time, swindlers are saying they’re raising money for the John Marshall High School football team.

The John Marshall Rocket Football Fanatics put a warning on Facebook saying:

“It has come to our attention that the company My Game Day Live is soliciting businesses in the Rochester area pretending to raise money for the JM Football program. This is a scam.

“Please do not respond to emails or phone calls from this company. They do not represent JM Football or JM High School.”

Rochester Public Schools responded:

“We have been informed of an email from an unidentified, out-of-state company asking local businesses to support a fundraising effort for John Marshall High School. This company does not partner with John Marshall High School or Rochester Public Schools in any way. If you have questions about whether a fundraiser for John Marshall is legitimate, please contact Activities Director Brian Ihrke at brihrke@rochesterschools.org or Principal Ruzek at maruzek@rochesterschools.org.”

ABC 6 reached out to My Game Day Live and they have yet to respond.

Rochester Police tell us they haven’t had any calls related to this scam.
