🚨 SCAM ALERT: FAKE SPECTRUM REPRESENTATIVES 🚨

The Brown Deer Police Department would like to make our community aware of a scam that has recently been reported involving individuals posing as Spectrum representatives.

Scammers are contacting people and claiming they can lower their monthly Spectrum bill by ordering new phones. During the conversation, they may ask for account information, request access to the victim's account, or instruct the victim to make changes to their account.

Once they gain access, the scammers order phones using the victim's Spectrum account, leaving the victim responsible for the charges.

📦 Here's where the scam continues:
When the unexpected phones arrive, the victim contacts who they believe is a Spectrum representative to return them. The scammer then provides a "return address." However, instead of being returned to Spectrum, the phones are shipped directly to the scammers.

⚠️ These scammers can sound professional and convincing, making the call appear legitimate.

🛑 Protect Yourself:

• Never provide account information or passwords to someone who calls you unexpectedly.
• If someone claims to be from Spectrum, hang up and contact Spectrum directly using the number on your bill or its official website.
• Be cautious of unsolicited offers promising significant discounts or deals that seem too good to be true.
• If you receive merchandise you didn't order, do not ship it using instructions provided by an unsolicited caller or email. Contact the company directly and verify the proper return process.

Most importantly, never rely on the phone number, email address, or return address provided by the person who contacted you. Verify everything independently.

Please share this information with your family, friends, and neighbors—especially those who may be more vulnerable to these types of scams.

Stay alert. Stop. Verify. Then act. 👮‍♂️
