Beware Scam Phone Calls
The Bay Village Police Department would like to remind everyone to be aware of scam phone calls. Do not trust anyone who calls you and claims to be the IRS stating (you are going to jail), or a relative who has been arrested in another state or country and needs bail money, Microsoft technician who needs to fix your computer over the phone, Publisher’s Clearing House (you are a BIG winner, but first you must send money for handling fees), ANYONE who says you’ve won money or owe money. TRUST NO ONE!!! If it is too good or strange to be true…IT PROBABLY IS!! When in doubt call the Bay Village Police. We would be happy to help you sort it out. The scam calls to our citizens continue unabated. This will NOT stop as long as trusting people keep sending $$$$ to these devious people.
