The Atlantic Police Department issued a warning on Wednesday afternoon of a possible phone scam circulating in the area. They received a complaint from a citizen that someone called them claiming to represent Atlantic Medical Center about an application that had been submitted. The citizen advised they had not filled out any applications and the fraudulent caller had their doctors information and was mimicking the Medical Center’s phone number. The citizen wisely called the Atlantic Medical Center to inquire about the call and they stated they did not call.

Police remind everyone to not give personal information over the phone as this is a possible scam.
