The Bowie County Sheriff’s Office is warning residents about a scam involving a woman falsely claiming to represent the Marine Corps “Toys for Tots” program.
Investigators say Bessie Gamble-Williams has been posing as an official ambassador, using printed materials and the Toys for Tots logo to appear legitimate.
Officials confirm she has no connection with the program.
Residents are urged not to donate toys or money to her and to always verify charity representatives.
Donations to the real Toys for Tots program should only be made through official Marine Corps or trusted local partners.
