North Fayette Police are seeing an increase in scams using fake law enforcement notices, phone calls, and AI-generated flyers that appear official.
Common signs of a scam:
• Demands for immediate payment to avoid arrest or legal action
• Requests to deposit money at Walmart, Walgreens, or another retailer.
• Instructions to pay using gift cards, cryptocurrency, or money transfers.
• Pressure to act quickly or keep the matter secret.
• Phone calls, texts, or notices claiming to be from law enforcement demanding money.
The Sheriff's Office, Attorney General's Office, and local law enforcement agencies, including the North Fayette Township Police Department, will never demand payment over the phone or through gift cards or retail store transactions.
If something seems off, it probably is....
If you believe you have been targeted by a scam, call 911 and request to speak with a police officer.
