New York State Police Scam Warning! Get This Call? Hang Up
The holidays are a wonderful time of year. The people I have encountered while out and about seem to be happier, kinder and generally speaking in a better mood than other times of the year. Maybe it's the fresh blanket of snow or maybe it's the music and lights of Christmas that have New Yorkers in a giving spirit.
The New York State Police have a warning however, be careful who you give to. Not everyone you encounter has good intentions. Here is one scam in particular that officials want you to be aware of.

Many of us receive phone calls, daily sometimes, from numbers we aren't familiar with. I usually ignore those but if the call appeared to be coming from the State Police, you might be inclined to answer.
