Windber Police Chief Andy Frear is warning the public of a scam that happened Today.
He says a woman received a phone call where someone claimed her Grandson was in an accident in Johnstown and needed money to get out of jail.
He says about two hours later a black man with cornrows and dark clothing approached her home and collected the money.
To be clear the suspect did not enter her home.
Chief Frear says the man was in a Gold/Tan newer model SUV.
