Police Warn of Phone Scam

The Purcellville Police Department was recently notified that a Loudoun County resident received a phone call in which the caller impersonated a Purcellville Police officer, stating they were working with the Federal Trade Commission.

The suspect was able to “spoof” the main administrative Purcellville Police Department phone number, so it appeared on the caller ID that it was coming from the Purcellville Police Department.

The caller identified herself as “Serena Wood” a “duty officer” with the department and asked the resident to provide personal information and transfer money into another account to avoid a charge of money laundering.

The resident hung up on the caller and contacted the Purcellville Police Department directly.

Members of law enforcement will never ask for money, prepaid gift cards or ask to verify financial information over the phone.

For questions about the validity of a telephone call from any law enforcement agency contact the Purcellville Police Department and Loudoun County Sheriff’s Office non-emergency dispatch line at 703777-1021.

New Well Moves to Construction

After an eight-year effort to identify new water sources, the Town Council on May 17 approved a construction contract for its Well D project.

With a permit level of 176 gallons per minute, the well is expected to generate twice as much water as any of the other town wells.

The award of the $537,380 contract to Lantz Construction Winchester followed a long effort to acquire the property and easements from the Round Hill Owners Association. The well site is located near Kedleston Court, north of town.

The work is expected to be completed this summer. n
