SCAM ALERT: The organization in question contacts an individual and claims they represent a high school that is fundraising for their various sports teams. They will offer exclusive advertising for t-shirts, banners and other items. The company goes by several names including, but not limited to Sports Media Advertising, Boost Sports, Sports Media Series, Core Solution Series, Core Solutions Advertising and JMI Solutions. This group based out of Texas, but many states have complaints against other such fraudulent businesses.

It’s a shame that some take advantage of generosity and Louisiana REALTORS wants to make sure you don’t fall into the trap of scams and fraudulent businesses. Always double check to make sure your donations are going where you want them to.
