Press release from the City of Concord: March 17, 2021 The Concord Police Department would like to make the community aware of a scam that is currently taking place. Some Concord residents have been receiving phone calls from what appears to be from the Concord Police Department (603-225-8600). The caller is claiming to be from the Concord Police Department and is requesting folks to place money onto gift cards and then have the gift card information transferred via the telephone. The Concord Police would not request or solicit anything in this manner. Please be vigilant when receiving calls of this nature. It appears that the Police Department's phone number is being spoofed through the use of an online app. If you have received a call similar to what has been described please contact your local police department.
