Oneonta Police Department Warns of New Phone Scams
The Oneonta Police Department wants residents to be aware of several phone scams that have been reported recently. If you receive calls from someone saying they are from social security and need your number, someone calling as an attorney of a relative who has been arrested and needs bail, or someone calls and states they’re a relative, but have a cold and that's why they sound different, you’re probably being scammed.
