Ledyard Police Warn of Telephone Scams

Post from Ledyard Police Department:

The Ledyard Police Department, as well as all of our law enforcement partners, continue to receive calls regarding telephone scams. In the scams, which all vary, callers attempt to obtain personal information or money from innocent citizens.

Unfortunately we receive calls on a daily basis which shows that despite publicity, scams continue. We are hopeful that all residents continue to be vigilant and aware, and do their best to protect information and assets.

If you are unsure of the validity of a call, please follow that uncertainty and contact the agency whom the caller states is requesting the information and/or payment. Do not use the number provided by the caller or caller ID to check, but use other known numbers. When in doubt, check it out!

If you have any other questions you can always contact your local Police Department. Ledyard Police can be reached at 860-464-6400.
