Cops are warning of a new elaborate phone scam where the scammer comes to your house. Ocean Shores Police say a local residents received a call from a scammer saying the victim’s bank was trying to steal their money. The scammer then pretended to be with the federal reserve and convinced the victim to withdraw a large amount of money from their account to protect it from theft.
