Telephonic and impersonation scams have been on the rise and we have a few safety tips to prevent you from being a victim of these type of crimes.
- Be aware of how in depth your social media post may be.
- Do not upload material with personal information or make private information about yourself public.
- Law enforcement agencies will never call and ask for money, gift cards, cryptocurrencies, personal information or any form of payment over the phone, EVER!
- Verify the validity of the caller by calling your local police station before taking any action.
If you have elderly parents/grandparents, extended family, friends etc. who live alone, please inform them and protect them from these predatory calls.
Don’t be a victim of a crime.
