BENNINGTON â Police are reminding the public to be careful of scams after recently receiving reports of local residents being targeted online and by phone.
The Bennington County Sheriffâs Department said Monday that an unknown person â using technology to âmirrorâ the sheriffâs department phone number â called a resident to admonish them for missing their âgrand jury date.â
The caller told the resident âthey need to pay money to make the problem go away,â Lt. Lloyd Dean, of the sheriffâs department, said in a news release.
He said getting in touch with residents about grand jury duty is not a function of the sheriffâs department. âWe do not make such calls,â Dean said. âAgain, this is a scam.â
