Someone pretended to be a police officer and requested a callback about an urgent issue.
Fake Police Alert: Don't Call Back!
Summary — +12132578829
Expert Opinion
In the quiet hours of evening in major U.S. cities, reports surface of suspicious calls mimicking official tones. This instance describes a caller posing as police, urging a callback on an 'urgent matter'—a classic red flag for impersonation scams. Scammers exploit fear to extract personal details or payments, often targeting the elderly or isolated individuals. Hang up immediately without engaging; legitimate authorities never demand callbacks this way. Report the number to the FTC at ftc.gov/complaint or your state's attorney general for tracking. Enable call blocking on your phone and consider apps like Nomorobo for filtering. Stay vigilant to protect against escalating fraud tactics.
