🚨SCAM ALERT🚨

Good evening Melrose,

Earlier today, our dispatch received a report of a scam call where the person was pretending to be “Officer Wilson” of the Melrose Police Department. The reporting party also stated that “Officer Wilson” asked for bank information, as well as their social security number.

Please know that the Melrose Police Department will never call you asking for bank information, or social security information.

Please call us if you receive a call like this, and please do not give our any information.

Thank you!
