Beware of Phone and E-Mail Scams

There has been an increase in  phone and email  scams, especially targeting seniors.  People  are receiving calls and/or emails  to  purchase gift cards and/or provide personal, financial, bank  or credit card information.    Additionally, Officials with PSEG Long Island are warning customers to be vigilant of a phone scam in which perpetrators pose as employees threatening to shut off power unless they receive immediate payments.   If you receive one of these calls or emails, please contact the Oyster Bay Cove Police Department immediately by dialing 911,  as they are working in conjunction with the Detective Division of the Nassau County Police Department.
