FROM THE PRESTON RESIDENT TROOPER’S OFFICE

There has been a scam that has targeted the population which claims to be a representative of law enforcement or the States Attorney’s office. These scammers are stating they have a member of your family (son/daughter/grandchildren) in custody (under arrest) for some sort of serious car crash. They will try and convince you to pay them some sort of “bond” to release your family member. They do this either over the phone (using gift cards) or to a courier. These fees are somewhere between $10,000.00-$20,000.00. These scammers will try to convince you to not to bother calling your family member as they have “seized” their cell phone. The couriers that are being sent to pick up the money are from ride sharing/taxicab service applications (such as Uber) and aren’t necessarily part of the scam.

POLICE DEPARTMENTS, STATE POLICE BARRACKS, OR ANY COURTS WILL NEVER TAKE BOND PAYMENTS OVER THE PHONE OR THROUGH A COURIER. THIS SCAM HAS TARGETED PRESTON RESIDENTS!!!!!!!!!!
