New Milford Mayor Pete Bass is warning residents to be aware of phone scammers during this holiday season. He is cautioning people to a number of scams including business impersonators, scammers who claim to be from companies such as Amazon. In one version, scammers offer a “refund” for an unauthorized purchase but “accidentally transfer” more than promised. They then ask the difference be sent back. But what really happens is the scammer moves a victim's own money from one of their bank accounts to the other, like Savings to Checkings, to make it look like a refunded was deposited.
