Beware of Scams

Public Announcement

It has come to our attention that an individual by the name of Amanda Lynn Poppen has allegedly engaged in deceptive practices involving her minor child to solicit financial assistance from individuals. Reports indicate that she claims the funds are urgently needed for an emergency medical treatment related to a trial program under Bright Research Studies.

We encourage anyone who has been approached with such a request to exercise caution and verify the legitimacy of the claims before providing financial assistance. If you have been affected or have relevant information, we recommend reporting the matter to the appropriate consumer protection agencies or law enforcement authorities.
