The Tullahoma Parks and Recreation Department is warning residents about scammers putting out fake flyers for fake events.

“It has come to our attention recently that there are scammers out there circulating fake flyers for events that do not exist, trying to sell booth space and sponsorships and requesting that vendors PM them for application and payment information,” Parks and Rec officials said in a statement. “The current scam we saw is being called “Summerfest” and being advertised in local FB groups. This is not a legitimate event.”

Parks and Rec officials ask residents to “be wary” of these false events, and if they are unsure about an event they can call the Parks and Recreation Department at 931-455-1121 to verify before giving out personal information or sending any money.

“Anyone found pulling this scam on our hard-working vendors and creators will be reported to the Tullahoma Police (Department),” department officials said.
