SCAM ALERT

​Phone Scam Alert:
A Warning for Seniors in Hampton Roads
Senior Services of Southeastern Virginia (SSSEVA) wants to warn the public about a phone scam seeming to target seniors and their caregivers in Hampton Roads. We've gotten multiple reports from seniors and family members throughout the region who received these phone calls over the last couple of weeks. The callers, all calling from a 757-461-exchange with rolling last four digits, identify themselves as “Senior Services,” and then try to entice you to buy life insurance.
Senior Services of Southeastern Virginia wants to make it clear that our organization does not sell life insurance and will never call anyone to try to sell products of any kind.

What If They Call Me?
