Riverhead Town residents have received telephone calls from an unknown male demanding credit card payment for a delinquent water bill.
The Town of Riverhead is letting everybody know that the calls are fake and a scam and not coming from their offices.
This scam is occurring island-wide, including the Hamptons, and any resident who believes that they have received one of these fraudulent phone calls should call the police at 727-4500, press 0, and report it to the dispatcher.
I felt obligated to post because I got a call from 202-812-0906 and this guy said I missed payment for my water bill. Said I should pay right away or my water supply gets cut off. I was suspicious of the call so i hung up and Googled the phone number and I did find it reported at http://www.callercenter.com/202-812-0906.html for an entirely different scam. From the complaints posted on there, the caller has been sending everybody with a fake notification that the recipient won a Walmart gift card.
The economy must be really hard for these crooks to do everything to put their hands on somebody else’s money
