Calgary police warn that online donation campaigns are circulating that claim to support the search for 11-year-old Parker, who went missing July 16. According to police, they have become aware of an online fundraising effort and are urging the public to be cautious about any links or requests for money connected to the case.
Police statements shared publicly indicate that the fundraising posts are not authorized by police or the family. The Calgary Herald reports that Parker’s family confirms there is no official GoFundMe associated with this case at this time. The warning comes as the search for Parker continues.
While the reports do not identify the specific scam pages, both sources describe the same concern: unverified donation requests presented as supporting the search. Authorities are effectively asking residents to avoid donating through unofficial channels and to rely on information and fundraising avenues provided by official sources as the investigation and search proceed.
