Full Notification

The Fulton Police Department has received reports of more attempts to scam residents. The first caller advises that they represent Medicare, and attempt to get personal and financial information. The second caller claims to be from Social Security and advises that your number has been compromised and that you must call them or make arrangements with them to correct this or your social security number will be canceled. Remember those federal government agencies rarely or never make personal phone calls, and never give personal information over the phone. If you have a call blocking service, try to utilize this to stop the calls. Scammers also have the ability to make their calls appear to be local numbers. Last, use extreme caution outdoors in these bitterly cold conditions! Lt. Donnie Pridemore, Fulton Police Department.
