The Maryland state Police, McHenry Barracks, has received numerous complaints in reference to citizens receiving phone calls from unknown persons claiming that a family member has been involved in an accident and demanding money be sent via Western Union to assist the family member. Typically the caller states that a family member has been involved in an accident and is in need of medical treatment. These phone calls are a scam and should be treated as such. If you receive a call about a family member being in an accident, you may contact the local police to verify any information.
