Beware of Phone Scams: Protect Yourself from Fraudsters Pretending to Be Police Officers

Aaron Delgado

Recently, there has been a surge in phone scams where individuals impersonate police officers in an attempt to extract payments from unsuspecting victims. These scammers often claim that you need to pay for license suspensions or tickets over the phone. It is crucial to stay informed and protect yourself from such fraudulent activities.

What You Need to Know

1. Scam Tactics:

  • The caller pretends to be a police officer.
  • They claim you owe money for license suspensions or tickets.
  • They request payment over the phone, often using threats or urgency.

2. How to Protect Yourself:

  • Never pay over the phone: Police officers will never ask for payment over the phone.
  • Verify the call: Contact the police department directly using verified phone numbers.
  • Protect personal information: Do not give out personal or financial information over the phone.

3. What to Do If You Receive Such a Call:

  • Stay calm and do not engage with the caller.
  • Note down any details about the call (e.g., caller ID, the content of the conversation).
  • Report the call to your local police department.
