LARCHMONT, NY (May 10, 2026) — The Larchmont Police Department is alerting residents about a phone scam that is targeting individuals throughout the area. The scammers pose as bank representatives or law enforcement officials, instructing victims to withdraw large sums of cash and deliver it to an individual who will meet them at their home or another location.
Authorities emphasize that legitimate bank representatives or law enforcement officers will never request that individuals withdraw cash and hand it over to someone. They also stress that no legitimate agency will demand immediate secrecy or pressure individuals to act quickly.
Residents are advised to hang up immediately if they receive such calls and to refrain from providing personal or banking information. Instead, they should contact their bank directly using the number on the back of their card or from an official statement and report suspicious calls to their local police department.
The Larchmont Police Department encourages residents to speak with elderly family members and neighbors, as scammers often target seniors. Anyone who believes they have been contacted or victimized by this scam is urged to notify the Larchmont Police Department at (914) 834-1000.
