The Rockingham Police Department has received several calls about a phone scam that is targeting area seniors.
The reports have stated that seniors are receiving phone calls from a male that has a foreign accent telling them that they have won several thousand dollars from Publisher’s Clearing House and that they need to go purchase a greendot card for around $200.
They are then supposed to call the caller back and give them the numbers on the card in order to get delivery of the prize. Obviously this is fake.
