SCAM ALERT5

Cheyenne, Wyo. - The Cheyenne Police Department is sounding the alarm on a new Scam Alert.

CPD is warning food truck vendors that a new fraud scheme is making the rounds involving fake Cheyenne Frontier Days (CFD) permits.

According to a new post, CPD says a scammer using the name "Michael Francis" is emailing food truck vendors across the state, pretending to represent Fun Biz Concessions (CFD's official food concessionaire). The email contains a fraudulent permit application and a request for payment via Venmo or PayPal. This individual is not affiliated with CFD or Fun Biz Concessions.

If you receive an email from this sender or see anything suspicious, reach out to the Cheyenne Police Department at (307) 637-6525.
