The Brentwood Police Department is warning citizens of an alleged phone scam that is occurring at this time. The suspicious calls have been targeting elderly residents. The caller typically has a heavy foreign accent and promises that a large sum of money and a new car have been won. The caller advises victims to purchase a pay as you go Visa card with $500.00 deposited to the card. Once the card is purchased victims are told to give the account information to the caller in order for winnings to be deposited on the account. Once the account information is received the account is then emptied. Some of these callers are advising residents that they will be coming to their residence. If you have received a suspicious call of this nature there is no need to report it to the police department. If you have suffered a loss due to a scam please report it to the police department as soon as possible.
