Dear Residents and Businesses:
We have recently had more scam complaints come into the police department. One recent scam is similar to ones we have reported in the past. The caller reports that he or she is a grandson or granddaughter of an elderly person, and asked the elderly person to send them money, as they need the money because they are stuck or had an accident. The victim is asked to send the money through western union and the suspects are in a foreign country. Please remind elderly relatives to never send the money without further investigation as most 0f the time it is a scam. Please call us if you need assistance.
Captain Jerry Desmond
