The Lawrenceburg Police Department are warning residents about recent scam that uses spoof number to impersonate their office

 

The Lawrenceburg Police Department released the following information on Tuesday:

"It has come to the police dept.'s attention that a scam is actively happening right now where unknown individuals are contacting residents from the Lawrenceburg Police Dept. phone number 931-762-2276 advising them they have missed a court appearance and they need to provide a card number to pay their citation or they will be arrested/ suspended/ subpeonaed etc.

The phone number has been "spoofed" to come from another line and show this number on your caller ID. THIS IS A SCAM!!!!!!
