🚨 SCAM ALERT — PLEASE SHARE 🚨
We want to remind everyone to be cautious of phone scams involving individuals pretending to be law enforcement officers.
Scammers may claim that you have a warrant, missed jury duty, owe a fine, or are facing arrest unless you immediately send money.
NO legitimate law enforcement agency will call you and instruct you to MAIL CASH to avoid arrest, clear a warrant, or pay a fine.
If someone calls claiming to be law enforcement and demands that you mail cash, purchase gift cards, send cryptocurrency, wire money, or make an immediate payment — STOP. DO NOT SEND MONEY.
Scammers can be very convincing. They may know your name or other personal information, use the name of a real officer, and even make the caller ID appear to come from a legitimate agency.
📞 Hang up and contact the law enforcement agency directly using a verified phone number. Do not call a number provided by the person demanding payment.
Please talk with elderly family members, friends, and neighbors about these scams as they are often specifically targeted.
When in doubt, hang up and verify. A legitimate law enforcement agency will not threaten you into mailing cash.
