IMPERSONATING OFFICER PHONE SCAM

Telephone scams are some of the most popular fraud schemes. A call will say there is a warrant for a person's arrest and they need to deposit money into an account and is given an account number. Or they say they are an officer, sheriff or from border patrol. Hang up! No warrant service will or law enforcement officer will ask you for money. If you are a victim of fraud, file a police report, then also file a fraud complaint with the Federal Trade Commission or an ID Theft report and obtain a recovery plan. If the fraud involves the internet, you can file a complaint with the Internet Crime Complaint Center. Our Property Crime Detectives have access to both databases and can use them when identifying additional victims related to a subject of an investigation.
