WOODSTOCK - Woodstock Police are warning the public about a number of scams making the rounds locally. 

Police were called about reports of a possible romance scam and a scam involving cryptocurrency.

A romance scam is where a scammer convinces someone to enter a virtual relationship to gain trust and affection and eventually will begin requesting you send them money for various reasons including travel, medical emergency, joining a business venture, or investing in cryptocurrency.
