Public Safety will not contact you asking for funds.
No law enforcement agency or correctional facility at any level will call, text, email, or message you demanding payment for bail, fines, fees, pretrial services, or other alleged costs.
Public safety agencies across Maine continue to receive reports of these scams and are warning the public.
Scammers may change their story, but their goal remains the same: to get your money. They may demand payment through gift cards, bank transfers, payment apps, cryptocurrency, or other financial platforms.
These scammers often use fear, urgency, and threats of arrest or other enforcement action to pressure victims into making immediate payments.
Sadly, people continue to fall victim.
PLEASE HELP US SHARE THIS IMPORTANT MESSAGE:
PUBLIC SAFETY WILL NEVER CONTACT YOU DEMANDING PAYMENTS FOR ANY SERVICES.
