A local police department is warning the community of scammers claiming to be law enforcement.
The Dayton Police Department shared on social media that they have received several reports in the last few days of people getting scammed out of thousands of dollars.
- TIMING: Winter Storm Warning, Winter Weather Advisory issued ahead of widespread accumulating snow
- City could hear 1,800 fewer train sounds with new plan, residents excited for new change
- 2 men arrested during coordinated operation between multiple agencies in Montgomery County
The department said that the scammers often call claiming the victim has an outstanding warrant, missed court, or owes fines. Then they demand payment over the phone.
It’s important to remember that no law enforcement agency will ask for money, gift cards, prepaid cards, or bank information over the phone…
