Alert: Marblehead Police Issue Scam Warning

Consider this a warning - don't give out any personal information over the phone.

The following information was posted to the Marblehead Police Department's Facebook page Tuesday

We are continuing to see “SCAM” phone calls to residents of Marblehead. The calls recently have claimed to either be from a police department or from the IRS.

Please, if you think it is a SCAM, hang up the phone and call the police.

The IRS contacts you by mail, NOT by phone.

 If the caller claims to be the police and you are unsure, hang up and call the Marblehead Police. We can work with you to help.

Please, guard your personal information from being stolen.
