On Wednesday, December 3rd 2025 at approximately 7 PM, the Dunbarton Police Department responded to a residence to take a report of a phishing/courier scam in which the victim handed over more than $20,000 in cash after the suspect arrived at the victim's residence. The contact initially started as a PayPal phishing e-mail, indicating that the victim owed money to rectify an account issue. The suspect vehicle, believed to be a newer model white SUV/Crossover Acura, was seen on a nearby surveillance camera leaving the area at approximately 6 PM. The operator of the vehicle was described as an Asian female. This case remains under active investigation. Anyone with information is asked to please contact Officer Tompkins at ttompkins@gsinet.net or by calling (603) 774-5500.

The general public is also reminded to exercise caution and due diligence when contacted by unknown or suspicious people or businesses. If you believe you are actively being scammed, please contact your local law enforcement agency.
