Maryland State Police are warning the public about telephone scams in which the caller has cloned, or, “spoofed” a Maryland State Police telephone number and requested personal information from people as part of a so-called “criminal investigation” or asked for money in the form of gift cards to avoid being arrested. Be diligent and report any such scams to our local dept.

From the Friends of Deep Creek Lake organization: “Don’t forget to Contact Governor Hogan and urge him to include capital funding for DCL restoration and protection in his next budget. Contact information: Phone: 410-974-3901; Address: 100 State Circle. Annapolis, MD 21401; Email: https://governor.maryland.gov/contact-us/. … the bottom-line is the lake continues to decline and there is no comprehensive and effective lake management structure or processes or funding to ensure DCL will be restored.”
