State Police are warning citizens of an increase in elaborate computer and phone scams, particularly targeting elderly individuals. The scams typically begin with an urgent demand for money, often via email or phone, and involve a "pick up" arrangement where the victim meets someone in person. The scammer provides a "code word" before taking the money from the victim, either at their home or another agreed-upon location. Authorities urge community members to be cautious and avoid providing personal information to unknown contacts or opening suspicious emails. If you suspect you've fallen victim to such a scam, immediately contact your bank using a verified phone number.
