Pittsfield Police Warns of Phone Scam
Staff Reports,
01:28PM / Tuesday, January 15, 2019

PITTSFIELD, Mass. — Police are warning residents of a phone scam.
 
The department received a complaint on Monday that woman received a call asking for donations on behalf of the department. The caller asked the woman for her credit card information. Police, however, say that neither the Pittsfield Police Officers Union Local 447 nor the Pittsfield Police Supervisors Union Local 447S is currently running a fundraiser.
 
The woman did not give her credit card information and Police urge others to do the same. 
 
"As always, we urge residents to err on the side of caution if you are unsure of any calls you may receive asking for personal information such as credit card numbers, birthdays, or social security information," Police said in a statement. 
 
Police added that the company which conducts union fundraisers never asks for credit card information and if anybody is in any doubt they can contact the department directly with questions.
