Scammers keep getting more sophisticated and creative in their scams and this one is no different.
The Duxbury Police are warning the public to be aware of a new scam that is becoming common where people are copying voices and claiming to be loved ones over the phone.
If you receive a call that seems suspicious or random and it is a loved one claiming they need a large sum of money, hang up, and call that individual on a phone number that you know that you can reach them.
DPD have seen an increase of these scams claiming to be a loved one needing bail money or money to pay off a debt that is urgent.
Never give out personal information such as social security number, residential address, or bank account information over the phone to a number that you aren’t sure is secure.
If you do receive a call like this, please report it to the police.
