Residents Be Wary of Phone Scam: Waterford Police
Residents should be wary of anyone calling as a representative of the police department asking for money.
WATERFORD, CT - Police said they received reports Thursday morning of a town resident being contacted over the phone by an alleged member of the Waterford Police Union. The caller was asking the resident for donations, police said.
The Waterford Police Union is not calling residents and asking for money, according to a release. Police said they advise residents to "just hang up" if they are contacted, as this is a scam. (To sign up for Waterford breaking news alerts and more, click here.)
