Arrest Warrant Scam

If you have any questions about whether a call is legitimate or not, please call our business line at (781) 395-1212.

Scammers will often “spoof” phone numbers to appear to be local and they will also create fake Caller ID tags that identify them as local police, sheriff’s department or other law enforcement agency. Some even use the name of real officers currently working at the department in attempt to sound more legitimate. The scammer states that there is a warrant for your arrest, but that you can pay a fine in order to avoid criminal charges. Law enforcement agencies will never call you and demand payment, especially through a wire or gift cards.
