MUSCATINE, Iowa (KWQC) - Muscatine police are investigating after a report of a fake youth baseball team called “The Muscatine Vipers,” according to a media release.

The team was advertised as having 8U and 11U league teams, police said. Parents told officers when the fall season was set to begin, they were told the team was not officially registered.

Police said multiple people reported paying team dues for the Quad City Bronco Fall Ball League, but learned the organizer did not pay the league.

Police ask anyone with information, or who has paid money to participate in this league, to contact Detective Nicole Sink of the Muscatine Police Department Major Crimes Unit at 563-263-9922, ext. 612. Callers may remain anonymous.
