Maryland State Police Warn Somerset County Residents Of Recent Phone Scam

PRINCESS ANNE, Md. (WJZ) – Maryland state troopers are warning residents on the Lower Shore of an apparent telephone scam involving a caller asking for donations to the Maryland State Police.

Troopers called the suspect's number but immediately were sent to voice mail. Their investigation is continuing.

Officials said no one representing the Maryland State Police would ever call asking for money for the Department.

Anyone else in the area who may have received a call from this individual may report that to the Princess Anne Barrack at 443-260-3700.
