Lt. Darst with the Aberdeen Department said they received a call today telling us than an Aberdeen Woman received a phone solicitation that showed on her caller ID that is was the Aberdeen Police Department with a phone number of 360-533-1021. She knew that it was a scam call because they were asking for her credit card and they could barely speak English.
