Chamber Members,  
It has been brought to our attention that a member of the Chamber of Commerce received a phone call this morning (Friday, January 9, 2015) from someone claiming to be calling on behalf of the Chamber.  The caller was asking for credit card information to make sure payment was up to date.

2. Only Chamber staff will ever contact you for payment information
   
3. "Greater Peterborough Chamber of Commerce" will show up on phones with caller ID
