Boston Police: Beware of Phone Scam

 Boston police have issued a warming to all residents about a phone scam making the rounds in the city.

According to police, the scammers call a home and say a family member's been in an accident and needs medical care. They then demand you send them money, or your family member won't get the care they need.

See the BPD's Facebook post above for more details about the scan.
