Worcester County Sheriff's Office
Please be aware of a scam involving your utility companies. Several citizens report being contacted by BG & E, Delmarva Power and Constellation. These scams have been previously reported to the FBI and are being handled.
In the meantime, to prevent further victims or Identity Theft; if YOU receive a phone call or other means of communication from someone asking for pertinent information regarding your account; safeguard this information and hang up or do not respond to request.
