BEWARE OF COVID-19 FRAUD
Dear Wentworth Residents & Business Owners,
With the wide spread fear of the COVID-19 virus also comes those criminal elements who try to take advantage of an already unfortunate event and capitalize on peoples fear. These criminal minds try to create some type of false sense of security by offering counterfeit products and or fake cures or the promise of a vaccine that will either fight or prevent the virus.
Please beware of these potential fraudulent schemes. The best practice is consult with your PCP, Doctor or other medical professional.
In the event that you are somehow contacted, or, see what could be a possible COVID-19 scam, please report it to the following:
"The National Center For Disaster Fraud"
1-866-720-5721
disaster@leo.gov
In reporting this you may help avoid someone else falling victim to these fraudulent schemes.
These are trying times for us all, but, as I have said previously, being the strong communities, State, and Country that we are, we will help each other navigate through these times, it's who we are, and it is what defines us. Please be safe, Keep the Faith, and take care of one another.
Respectfully,
Chief Wallace Trott
Wentworth Police Department
