Phone scammers are coming up with new tactics, according to Fair Lawn police.
They say scammers are calling their victims under fake names such as “Verizon” and “PSE&G” on caller ID and requesting money through Venmo or Zelle.
Police are warning that major companies will never request payment of one of those apps.
