TOWSON, MD—Police say residents in parts of Baltimore County have reported receiving scam calls about their cable service.

The resident is then told to call back the cable representative to provide the codes found on the back of each card. Anyone who receives such a call is urged not to purchase any gift cards or provide personal information.

These callers are attempting to carry out a scam. Anyone who receives a call like this should call 1-800-COMCAST or click here.
