The Calistoga Police Department is warning the community about a highly sophisticated phone scams that have been on the rise in recent months.
(locally and throughout the nation)

Scammers are calling residents and falsely claiming that a child or loved one has been involved in a serious accident or emergency.

During the call, they ask carefully crafted questions to gather personal information, which they then use to make the story sound convincing and urgent.

As the call continues, the scam often escalates. In some cases, the caller claims the loved one has been kidnapped and demands immediate payment to prevent harm. Victims are frequently kept on the phone to increase panic and prevent them from verifying the information.

Some reports indicate scammers may even use AI-generated or altered audio to mimic a loved one’s voice, making the situation feel frighteningly real.

Protect Yourself and Your Family

•Stay calm — scammers rely on fear and urgency
• Do NOT send money or provide personal information
• Hang up immediately if you suspect a scam
• Verify independently by contacting your loved one or a trusted family member directly
• Contact law enforcement if you believe a threat may be real

Remember: Legitimate law enforcement or government agencies will never demand immediate payment over the phone.

Please share this message to help protect others. Staying informed is one of the best ways to prevent scams like these.

El Departamento de PolicĂ­a de Calistoga advierte a la comunidad sobre estafas telefĂłnicas altamente sofisticadas que han ido en aumento en los Ăşltimos meses. (a nivel local y en todo el paĂ­s).

Los estafadores están llamando a residentes y afirmando falsamente que un hijo(a) u otro ser querido ha estado involucrado en un accidente grave o una emergencia.

Durante la llamada, hacen preguntas cuidadosamente formuladas para obtener informaciĂłn personal, la cual luego utilizan para que la historia suene convincente y urgente.

A medida que la llamada continúa, la estafa suele intensificarse. En algunos casos, la persona que llama afirma que el ser querido ha sido secuestrado y exige un pago inmediato para evitar que le hagan daño. Con frecuencia, las víctimas son mantenidas en la línea telefónica para aumentar el pánico y evitar que verifiquen la información.

Algunos reportes indican que los estafadores incluso pueden utilizar audio generado o alterado por inteligencia artificial para imitar la voz de un ser querido, haciendo que la situaciĂłn parezca aterradoramente real.

Proteja a Usted y a Su Familia
• Mantenga la calma — los estafadores dependen del miedo y la urgencia
• NO envíe dinero ni proporcione información personal
• Cuelgue de inmediato si sospecha que se trata de una estafa
• Verifique de manera independiente comunicándose directamente con su ser querido o con un familiar de confianza
• Comuníquese con las autoridades si cree que la amenaza podría ser real

Recuerde: Las autoridades legítimas o las agencias gubernamentales nunca exigirán pagos inmediatos por teléfono.
