Kingston, N.Y. – Ulster County Executive Mike Hein is warning the public of an apparent phone scam that is targeting county residents.  A caller posing as a representative of the Ulster County Veterans’ Service Agency is contacting individuals and requesting monetary donations.  These calls are in no way affiliated with Ulster County Veterans’ Services, nor does the County solicit funds via telephone. 

“Any report of individuals preying upon the good will and patriotic spirit of Ulster County residents is nothing short of disgusting,” said County Executive Mike Hein.  “If you or someone you know receives a phone call from someone soliciting funds for Ulster County Veterans’ Services, do not provide any information and please immediately contact the Ulster County Consumer Fraud Office at 845-340-3260.”

If you know of a Veteran looking for services or to learn more about the Ulster County Veterans’ Service Agency, please call 845-340-3190.
