State Senator Kevin Raye of Perry is warning Mainers not to be fooled by a phone scammer using his name.

Raye says he received a complaint from a woman in Calais this weekend.

She says her elderly mother received a call from a man claiming to be Raye.

The man said he was collecting money for veterans and asked for her credit card information.

The woman didn't have a credit card, so the man didn't get her information.

Raye says he isn't making any such calls, and wants to remind folks to never give out their personal information over the phone.

He's notified the State Police about the call.
