State Police caution residents to rest area scammers

Connecticut State Police Troopers have been investigating a number of similar incidents at various rest areas where patrons are approached by someone claiming to have either lost their wallets or were victims of a robbery. Often times the scammers will ask for financial assistance, claiming that they are stranded with their family and trying to make it home.  They are banking on the fact that people will say no and, once denied money, they will offer to sell what appears to be a gold piece of jewelry they are wearing for as much as they can take.  State Police are asking anyone who is approached by someone attempting to solicit money at the rest areas to contact 911 immediately.
