Notice from Milton Police Department (you can friend them on Facebook)

Today, MPD obtained a tip email from a person from outside Massachusetts that received a distressing call from “617-291-9347.”

The caller told the person that her brother had been in a serious car accident. Her description of the subject stated he was evasive and could not give details as to where the brother was. The caller stated her brother was going to die. They wanted “monetary assistance” to help him.” This call is a obvious phone scam. A Google search of the phone number shows about a half dozen similar scams run from this phone line.

NEVER, give anyone on the phone you information, or send anyone money! These type scams try to scare you into reacting out of sympathy and duty. They are all false!

Please share this number and story with your friends.

Thank you…
