Milford police warn of package scams using stolen cards

Milford police are warning residents about a new package scam. Scammers are ordering items, often cellphones, using stolen credit cards or the homeowner's credit card, leading to unexpected bills for the homeowners. Packages are delivered to the correct address but often under fake names. Scammers follow delivery trucks and steal the packages shortly after they arrive. Police advise homeowners to avoid opening the door if someone comes looking for a package and to call the police instead.
