WARNING
Stroke Association of Victoria Inc. has been made aware of a scam whereby a person from a so-called donation collection company is claiming to represent SAV Inc. Contact is made by telephone and a request is made for a donation to his company for direction to SAV Inc.
Alternatively, a business person may be prompted to support SAV Inc. by placing an advertisement in a nominated magazine.

The person also makes a point of mentioning the name of our Secretary in order to validate his request.

SAV does NOT contact anyone by telephone to solicit donations, neither have we contracted any organisation to do telephone canvassing on our behalf.

If you wish to make a donation to support us with our work please use the options shown on our 'Donations' web page.

We thank you for your support and be vigilant.

If you would like to make a donation to SAV Inc. to help us with our work, 'Click' on the icon to go to the Donations page.
