🚨 SCAM ALERT – PLEASE READ AND SHARE! 🚨

The Hemingway Police Department has received reports of phone calls being made to local residents claiming that you have an active warrant and must pay money over the phone to avoid arrest or other consequences.

THIS IS A SCAM.
These calls are NOT from the Hemingway Police Department or any legitimate law enforcement agency.

Law enforcement will NEVER:
* Call you to demand payment
* Request banking information
* Threaten arrest over the phone.

❗ Never give personal or financial information to anyone who calls you claiming you owe money or threatening legal action.

Please take a moment to inform elderly family members, friends, and neighbors, as they are often targeted by these scams. Help us spread the word to keep our community safe.

If you receive a suspicious call, hang up immediately and report it to your local police department.

STAY ALERT AND STAY SAFE!
Thank you!
