ATTENTION:  Seniors and Business Owners
BEWARE   SCAM  ALERT

The Marlborough Resident Troopers Office has issued the following SCAM Advisory

Persons posing as power company representatives are contacting seniors and business owners by phone advising them they failed to sign their payment checks and if payment is not received immediately, power will be shut off. They are then asked for a debit card for immediate payment thereby gaining access to personal funds.  You should "not" provide personal debit card information to anyone posing as a utility company representative over the phone.

 The Food Bank of Marlborough will be open Saturday, March 3, 2012 from 10 a.m. to noon for donations only.  The Food Bank is open for donations the first Saturday of each month. Please call ahead at  (860)295-6008 between the hours of 10 a.m. and noon if the weather is questionable.

Leaves raked or blown into the road cause improper drainage and hazardous road conditions.
