Scammers pose as Mattapoisett administration

MATTAPOISETT — Residents are warned to keep a close eye on credit and debit card charges seemingly coming from the town.

Scammers are fraudulently posing as the town and charging cards amounts ranging from $3-50. The amount residents have been charged has varied.

These charges appear to come from the Mattapoisett Council on Aging or Mattapoisett Town Hall, and transactions appear to go back as far as January of this year.

Residents who have identified charges they believe may be fraudulent should call the Mattapoisett Police Department’s non-emergency number at 508-758-4141. 

Town Administrator Michael Lorenco said the police are currently investigating the scam.
