Police Say "State Police" Phone Call is a Scam

Police say a call from this phone number is a scam.

Police say calls from a '508' area code claiming to be collecting for a safety project in Medfield are a scam.

On Friday, a resident called the Medfield Police Department to report a suspicious phone call from 508-409-0675. The caller said they were collecting for the State Police for a "safety project in Medfield." 

The resident hung up and called police who said there was no such project.

Medfield Police called the number back but got no answer.

Police say the phone number is listed on the Internet as a scam, and the resident was advised to contact the Medfield Police Department (508-359-2315) if she received any more calls from that number.
