Mayor/Public Safety Director Marathe & Chief Garofalo wanted to share information on unscrupulous individuals attempting to take advantage of many citizens. Please be aware of subjects claiming to be with the Center for Disease Control & Prevention (CDC) going "door to door". In addition, phishing schemes have risen where the user has been tricked into clicking on a bogus link or providing personal information such as an email address/password under the ruse of the site being "helpful".
Mayor/Public Safety Director Marathe & Chief Garofalo want to protect our community from scammers who are trying to prey the fears of innocent persons. If there is any doubt about anyone who may be at your door contact our Communications Center 24/7 at (609) 799-1222 or in case of an emergent situation call 9-1-1. The WWPD will act quickly to protect our citizens. Please use caution when searching for information online and go to legitimate sites such as consumer.ftc.gov, https://www.fda.gov/consumers/health-fraud-scams, and/or cdc.gov for more information.--Lt. Lee
