Fraudulent Phone Calls Targeting Seniors

Information has been received by the Sherborn Police Department regarding suspicious phone calls received by seniors from individuals wishing to update or verify their bank account information. These calls are fraudulent and should be brought to the attention of the police if received.

The caller has a very thick accent, along with noise in the background and has the elder's name and address.

In some cases the caller states that their Medicare benefits will be discontinued if they did not provide their account number and ABA.

Some of the victims claim the calls are coming from Social Security, while others claim to be from Medicare.

Currently these notifications that have been received are from the upper cape area and Middleboro area.

If you have any questions or concerns contact the Sherborn Police Department at 508-653-2424.
