EAU CLAIRE, Wis. (WLAAX/WEUX) – A scam is making the rounds on Facebook saying that there is a missing child in Eau Claire. The post talks about how a little boy with autism is missing but according to police in Eau Claire, there have been no reports about this to the emergency dispatch center. Officials say the scam posts usually have no additional information for the public, along with no contact info. The key giveaway is, if you look at the profile of the person who created the post, usually it’s nothing but a single photo in that profile.

Officials say not to engage with that person and to check with legitimate law enforcement pages. Eau Claire Police ask that you not share or forward the post if you see it.
