KHQA Safe Family Alert: New phone scam

Posted: 10.04.2010 at 5:02 PM

For this KHQA Safe Family advisory we wanted to warn against a new scam.

A Quincy resident alerted KHQA to a phone scam in the Tri-State area.

We checked with the Quincy Police Department.

There is no telephone fundraising campaign being conducted for the department right now.

Quincy police reminded us that if they were to solicit funds... they would never ask for your credit card number.
