Police‑impersonation scam alert – what to do?
Summary — +17603738606
Expert Opinion
Recent complaints reveal a pattern of spoofed calls claiming police authority from the same number. Victims report text messages and voice calls that pretend to be official law‑enforcement outreach, often urging immediate action or personal data disclosure. This tactic exploits trust in government agencies and can lead to identity theft or financial loss. To protect yourself, never share Social Security numbers, account passwords, or payment details with unsolicited callers. Use your carrier’s block feature or a third‑party app to silence the number, and forward the call record to the FTC or your state consumer protection office. Stay skeptical and verify any request through official channels.
