OCEAN CITY POLICE WARN PUBLIC ABOUT PHONE SCAM

Ocean City Police are warning the public about a new telephone scam that results in the caller threatening to shut off electrical energy to a home unless a bill is paid within 24 hours.  The callers are advised to go to a pharmacy and purchase a Money Pak with a number to call back.  Police say it’s completely a fraud, and illegal.  If you get a call of this nature, you are advised to contact your local police department.
