DELAWARE - The nonprofit animal shelter, Humane Animal Partners, took to social media to warn of a scam Monday morning. The scam impersonates HAP and is requesting money from supporters via Venmo.

The organization warns anyone who receives a request for a donation to not accept it. HAP says they never send requests for money through Venmo and the fraudulent accounts have been reported.

"We apologize for any confusion or concern this may have caused and thank you for your continued support!" read HAP's Facebook post.
