Glen Rock Police Department – NJ1
rthe staff of the Ridgewood blog
Glen Rock NJ, from the Glen Rock Police department ; We received word that the Hawthorne Police Dept has received many telephone calls at their Police Headquarters reporting that residents are receiving calls from people claiming to be from Social Security, stating there is a problem with thier accounts and they need to contact SS Office, or a Police Officer will call them. This is a SCAM, Social Security is not calling asking for info.
Never provide INFO, please advise friends, family and neighbors especially the elderly as they may be easy target.
NEVER PROVIDE INFO OR SEND OUT CASH CARDS
I get these scam calls too. They are so frequent that they easily outnumber the legit calls.
However, I find it ridiculous that people feel the need to report these calls to their local PDs, wasting their time and precious resources.
