Phone scams

The Riverhead school district is working to restore technology lost in a recent cyber attack and data breach, which police are investigating. Police are also warning of a scam robocall referencing the data breach from someone pretending to be a Riverhead police sergeant.

Scammers are using emails, phone calls and text messages to falsely claim they have information about cures for the coronavirus, sell medical supplies, ask for donations to fake charities or ask for personal information for people to receive money from the federal stimulus bill.

Once again, scammers impersonating U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents or police officers are targeting local Latino residents.
