🚨 SCAM ALERT – PLEASE SHARE 🚨
Residents and business owners are urged to be aware of an ongoing phone scam involving individuals falsely claiming to be with the local sheriff’s office.
Callers are telling victims they have an outstanding warrant for arrest and demanding payment to avoid being taken into custody. In some cases, they may instruct you to withdraw large sums of money or send payment through unusual methods. In some instances, the money was told to be delivered to an address (A gas station).
This is a scam. Law enforcement will never request payment over the phone to avoid arrest.
If you receive a call like this:
• Do not provide any personal or financial information
• Do not send money or follow their instructions
• Hang up immediately
If you are unsure, contact the Stanfield Police Department or your local law enforcement agency directly using a verified phone number.
If you believe you have been targeted or victimized, please report it to your local law enforcement agency.
Please share this information to help protect others in our community.
