Authorities advise residents to always verify the identity of callers claiming to be from law enforcement or other agencies. Do not share any personal or banking details over the phone without confirming the caller's legitimacy.
Scammers often use aggressive tactics, such as threatening individuals with outstanding warrants, posing as distressed family members in need of urgent assistance, or falsely claiming issues with banking institutions, among other ruses.
If you suspect a call may be a scam, hang up immediately. It is recommended to contact the organization directly using a trusted phone number to verify any claims made during the call.
