The authorities recently issued a fraud alert to the community after a resident received a deceptive letter in the mail allegedly from the National Police Association-a legitimate organization. However, the letter itself is a counterfeit. Sporting an eye-catching title designed to draw immediate concern, the letter was easily identifiable as a scam based on multiple red flags, including its poor copy quality, amateurish letter spacing, and a not-so-gentle request for money, as detailed by the Coppell Police Department.
