As we head into the busy holiday season — city police are advising to be careful about the latest phone scam making the rounds.
Police say a number of residents have fallen prey to a caller with generic information about the credit card and asking a series of questions to verify the card holder.
Another twist on this scam is the caller indicating they are investigating a fraudulent purchase on the credit card account and will ask for the three digit verification number on the back of the card.
Again — police are warning not to give out any information over the phone unless you make the call and you know you are dealing with a reputable company.
