Caution – Telephone Scam in Area

To our fellow Windham Residents,
“At WCO it was learned that an elderly Windham woman fell prey to a telephone scam in which she actually sent $1500 to someone telling her she won a prize but first had to send them the money. She got suspicious when they called her a 2nd time.  At that point she contacted Neighborhood Connections who has helped her contact the police. Likely nothing will come from it.

Another resident said she too got a call from someone who sounded as if he knew her and when he said something like, “you know who this is” and she said, “Tony?”, the guy pretended to be Tony. . .”

Remember to be vigilant against these kinds of scams and report any suspicious telephone calls to the police.
