Glen Rock NJ, Glen Rock Police Department has issued a FRAUD ALERT. Glen Rock Police  report that they received word that there is a fraudulent email going around town soliciting donations for a sick child. A quick internet search reveals this is just a new twist on similar frauds that play on people’s compassion to take money from them. As with ANY request for money, the

Glen Rock Police Department urges everyone to verify IN PERSON or via TELEPHONE with people you know to ensure they are actually making the request and this is not some type of scam. The majority of these frauds originate outside the US and the Glen Rock Police Department can do very little to prevent or prosecute these criminals. Prevention and education are key to protecting yourself. Please help pass the word.
