The Kitchener Rangers organization is asking the public and partners to be vigilant, as there are, according to the club, people posing as officials attempting to scam people.
In a post on social media, the Rangers said that the “potential scam” involves emails from people impersonating members of the club and operations staff.
“We have received reports of individuals contacting local businesses while falsely claiming to represent our organization,” the statement reads. “These scammers are attempting to collect payment in exchange for vendor space, merchandise tables, or promotional opportunities at upcoming home games during the 2025-26 season.”
The Rangers said in some cases, the fraudsters are asking for advanced payments through unsecured channels.
Due to this, the club said it wants people to know that the Rangers will never enter into an agreement without prior communication, will not request advanced payment and all legitimate officials have emails with the ending “@kitchenerrangers.com.”
The club is asking people to contact its business operations staff directly if an email appears suspicious.
This is a developing story. More to come.
