Police warn of scams The Upper Saddle River Police Depart- ment warns residents of charity and con- tractor scams circulating in the aftermath of Hurricane Sandy. Citizens are urged to be cautious of anyone aggressively soliciting donations over the phone. Call the charities registra- tion section at Consumer Affairs, (973) 504-6215, to check into the legitimacy of a charity. Unscrupulous contractors solicit their services door-to-door and will ask for money upfront for “material expenses.” These thieves will often advertise them- selves as “hurricane specialists.” A resident should not accept the services of contrac- tors who ring their doorbell. To find a listing of New Jersey licensed contractors, visit njconsumeraffairs.gov. Contact the Upper Saddle River Police Department at (201) 327-2700 if contacted by contractors and charities soliciting door- to-door or by phone.
