first of its kind “No Scam Zone” program, designed to help protect victims of scams!
We have partnered with the Crossville Cumberland County Crime Stoppers organization for the
creation of this free training, in which law enforcement officers, with the City of Crossville
Police Department, will present this all-new FREE training with any businesses, in and around
Crossville and Cumberland County, who sell commercially available gift cards, pre-paid credit
cards or provide any type of money transfers, commonly used by scammers.
This is an opportunity for businesses to partner with police, to help protect our citizens and
their customers. We will work together to help eliminate scams and loss within our community.
“We believe law enforcement and the community share responsibility for crime control and public safety.” -Crossville Police Department Mission Statement / Core Value
We currently publicize the types of scams which have been an ever-growing concern for our
community. However, we simply cannot get the information out to everyone. We are going to
continue to educate the public, but are also going to start combating the problem, at the point
of sale. If we can protect victims of scams, where they are sent to purchase the scammer’s
preferred payment types (untraceable Gift Cards), maybe we can put a stop to this epidemic.

By simply asking customers; “Do you personally know who you are buying this gift card for?”,VORP Thrift Store BOGO sale HELD OVER!
our hope is that, the potential scam victim may realize they are being scammed. After all, if you
don’t know someone, why would you buy them a gift?
