PORTLAND, Maine — Officials with AARP Maine are making the public aware of a phone scam, the company said in a statement Friday.
AARP received information Friday from the Central Aroostook Chamber of Commerce concerning fraudulent phone calls being made from persons claiming to be from a company called MCI-ITS S Telsey.
The calls are coming from the phone number 213-337-0014, with the caller asking for computer passwords and personal information because of a virus they claim to be monitoring.
The chamber conducted brief online research and discovered this company name and phone number have been used in other scams.
