The Mattapoisett Police Department is reporting that they have recently had a rise in reports of a scam that has been going on in the area. The situation involves citizens receiving a phone call from a person who says they are seeking donations for veterans and asks that the donors leave money in an envelope in their mailbox or taped to a door to be picked up. The Police Department reports that the situation is a scam and is not related to any known veteran’s aide group. If you receive a call, which you think is fraudulent, you can contact the Mattapoisett Police Department at 508-758-4141, Marion Police Department at 508-748-1212, or Rochester Police Department at 508-763-5112.
Sure will. These calls are prevalent nowadays and even my sister got a solicitation call, too. It came from 864-990-1873. Do you have that phone number in your records? We reported the phone number at Callercenter.com right away to raise a warning. I wonder how these scammers got the nerves to steal money from people.
