Expert Opinion

Calls claiming to be from the LAPD often turn out to be spoofed scams, especially those warning of arrests or missing‑person warrants. The 877‑275‑5273 prefix is a toll‑free L‑area number that the department itself says it never dials out. Scammers exploit the official‑sounding caller ID to create urgency and push victims toward payment. If you receive an unexpected police‑related call, hang up, verify the number on the department’s website, and avoid sharing personal or financial details. Call Trace (dial *57) can log abusive calls, and reporting the incident to the LAPD’s fraud unit helps protect others.
