DONT BE FOOLED!
Police impersonation scams are on the rise again!
If you get a call or text from someone saying they are a police officer asking for money, it is not us! BCPD will never ask for donations, payment for fines, or any other monetary request over the phone. If you are ever questioning whether it is in fact us that you are speaking with, hang up and call our non-emergency number at 979-245-8500 to verify.

THESE SCAMS ARE INCREASING

Bitcoin scams rely on the fact that cryptocurrency transactions are immediate, anonymous, and irreversible. Americans lose billions annually to crypto fraud. Common tactics include fake investment platforms, impersonation of tech support or government agencies, romance scams, and job-fee frauds that demand payment via Bitcoin ATMs.

Common Scams to Watch Out For:
• Investment Fraud: Fraudsters promise guaranteed, high returns or use fake AI trading bots. They often ask you to deposit money to unlock fake earnings.
• Imposter Scams: Scammers pretend to be from government agencies (like the IRS or police), Google, or tech support. They create fear by claiming you owe money or that your accounts are frozen, demanding payment in Bitcoin.
• Romance Scams: Con artists build relationships on dating apps or social media, eventually convincing you to send them Bitcoin or follow their fraudulent cryptocurrency "investment" advice.
• Bitcoin ATM (BTM) Scams: Scammers instruct victims to withdraw cash and deposit it directly into physical crypto kiosks by scanning a specific QR code under the guise of "protecting their funds".

How to Protect Yourself:
• Never pay with crypto to avoid trouble: Legitimate businesses, utility companies, or government agencies will never demand you pay a fine or debt in cryptocurrency.
• No guaranteed returns: Anyone offering guaranteed, quick money in crypto markets is operating a scam.
• Verify before you act: If an organization or someone you know asks for money, verify the story by calling a trusted number directly—do not use the contact information provided by the caller or included in an unsolicited message/pop-up.

What to Do If You Are Scammed
Because Bitcoin transactions are practically irreversible, recovering stolen funds is extremely difficult. If you have been targeted:
1. Report the fraud immediately: File a report with local law enforcement and the FBI's Internet Crime Complaint Center via the IC3 Portal.
2. Contact your financial institution: If you wired money or used a bank account to purchase the Bitcoin, notify your bank instantly to freeze accounts or attempt a recall.
3. Report the platform: If the scam happened on a specific app, website, or exchange, report the fraudulent activity to the website being used.

☀️ SUMMER CRIME PREVENTION TIPS ☀️
Stay safe this summer with a few simple habits that can help protect your home, family, and belongings.

🏡 Home Safety While Traveling
Heading out for vacation? Make your home look occupied. Use light timers, pause mail delivery, and avoid posting travel plans on social media until you return.

🚗 Vehicle Safety in Summer Heat
Always lock your vehicle—even at home or quick stops. Never leave valuables in plain sight, and avoid leaving your car running unattended.

👨‍👩‍👧 Keeping Kids Safe During Summer Break
Set clear boundaries for where kids can go and who they’re with. Encourage them to stay in groups, check in often, and avoid sharing personal information online.

👥 Stay Alert in Crowded Places
Festivals, parks, and community events are common this time of year. Keep bags zipped, phones secure, and stay aware of your surroundings.

🌐 Watch for Summer Scams
Be cautious of fake vacation rentals, travel deals, and online offers that seem too good to be true. Always verify before sending money or personal information.

🚶 Practice Everyday Awareness
Stay alert, trust your instincts, and avoid distractions like looking at your phone while walking through parking lots or unfamiliar areas.

A few small precautions can make a big difference. Stay safe, stay aware, and enjoy your summer! ☀️
