The Saint Joseph Chamber of Commerce warns that someone tried to obtain business information by impersonating a member of the Chamber staff.

The Chamber recently sent out a letter and verification form for the annual directory, but staff IS NOT calling members requesting information at this time.

If you receive such a call, the Chamber says a real staff person would be able to repeat back information about your business that the Chamber has on file, a scammer would not be able to do that.

The Chamber says people or companies sometimes try to impersonate the Chamber in an effort to sell a product, usually a map or guide of some kind.

The Chamber is not producing a City Map for 2016. It is producing a membership directory, but calls about that will only come from contracted ad salesman, Jeff Nieman.
