Honolulu Police impersonation scam – what to do!
Summary — +18084617985
Expert Opinion
Someone claimed to be a deputy from the Honolulu Police Department and warned of missed jury duty. This is a classic scam that uses authority to pressure you into handing over personal information or making payments. Never share details like your Social Security number, bank info, or payment methods over the phone unless you’ve independently verified the caller. Hang up, then contact the official police department using a known number or website to confirm any legitimate request. Keep a record of the call, block the number, and report it to local consumer protection agencies to help stop similar fraud attempts.
