RENO, Nev. (AP) - Officials at the University of Nevada, Reno are warning local residents about some impostors going door-to-door raising money.

School officials say the people are falsely claiming to be UNR student athletes.

Some of them say they are selling cleaning products to raise money for the school while others are claiming to be collecting donations to pay for team trips to Hawaii or the NCAA regionals.

UNR officials say they never send student athletes into the community to seek donations or sell things.

Anyone who may have donated money to the solicitors is urged to contact their banks as well as the local police.
