On Friday, MCSO issued a “scam alert” about the group. Spartan Sports allegedly told prospective donors that it is raising funds for other sports organizations such as the Mariposa Bears, Mariposa County High School, and more. Deputies said Spartan Sports is not affiliated with or endorsed by any of the groups it claims to be supporting.

Anyone who has been scammed by Spartan Sports is advised to call the sheriff’s office at 209-966-3615.
