Solicitation Scam Alert Sent to Local Businesses

Seton Hall has alerted the community to a solicitation scam, in which an entity calling itself "Student Relations, Inc." from Delray Beach, Fla., is urging local businesses and churches to purchase advertising space in a calendar it falsely claims is being published for the university.

However, Seton Hall has no such contract or arrangement with the company.

According to an e-mail circulated by Main Street South Orange, "(Seton Hall believes) this group initiates the interaction by first calling and then following-up by fax trying to sell advertising space on the calendar at a 'reduced' rate." 

People contacted by the company are asked to call 973-378-9837 or e-mail holly.wojcik@shu.edu. Main Street has also notified the police department.
