LISTEN: Overwhelming number of reports impersonating Springfield police
SPRINGFIELD, Mass. (WWLP) – The Springfield Police Department is warning the community, particularly in the Longmeadow area, about a phone scheme. Springfield man charged with DUI, wrong-way driving in Enfield According to police, the scheme involves callers impersonating Springfield Police sergeants in an apparent attempt to defraud recipients. They said police have been getting inundated with reports from residents receiving calls from individuals falsely claiming to be members of the Springfield Police Department. The schemers are using the real names of both a retired and a currently serving Springfield police sergeant to appear credible. Authorities say no one has reported falling victim to the scheme, but residents have been contacting the police after receiving and hanging up on calls. In the audio file provided by the Springfield Police Department, the recording says they are a sergeant with the Springfield Police Department looking to speak with the person regarding a 'confidential legal matter' and leaves a callback number. The scheme appears to be targeting phone numbers in the Longmeadow area, with reports increasing over the past two days. Police are advising residents to hang up immediately if they receive such a call and not to call the number back. Individuals do not need to notify the police unless they have already provided money or sensitive information. In such cases, or if someone wants to verify the legitimacy of a call, they are urged to contact the Springfield Police Department at 413-787-6355. The Longmeadow Police Department is reminding residents that officers will never ask for payment of any kind over the phone and recommends the following to protect yourself from falling victim: Verify the caller's identity: Always request the full name, identification number, and contact information of the caller. Legitimate law enforcement officers will provide this information without hesitation. Refrain from sharing personal information: Avoid disclosing personal details, such as your Social Security number, bank account information, credit card numbers, or any other sensitive data over the phone. Be cautious of urgent or coercive tactics: Scammers often create a sense of urgency, coercing victims into immediate action. They may threaten arrest, fines, or legal consequences to pressure you into revealing information or making immediate payments. Take a step back, remain calm, and verify the authenticity of the call before making any decisions or taking action. Educate yourself and loved ones: Share this information with your friends, family, and vulnerable individuals within your community. By spreading awareness, we can collectively protect ourselves and prevent these scams from succeeding.

Springfield, Longmeadow PDs warn of scams with officers demanding Bitcoin, other payments
SPRINGFIELD — Scammers impersonating two police sergeants, one of whom has retired, have been calling residents in Springfield and Longmeadow, trying to cheat people out of money by claiming to have an arrest warrant charging them with failure to show up for jury duty. More than a dozen people have notified the Springfield Police Department about the calls they've received this week, and Longmeadow police also have fielded multiple reports since many scams are targeting their residents, said Ryan Walsh, Springfield police spokesman. The calls are part a string of Springfield scams that have cheated area residents out of more than $624,000 over the past 18 months. Previous ones had callers mainly pretending to be Hampden sheriff's deputies. Over the past few days, people have been receiving calls from the fake police sergeants, saying they have an urgent and confidential matter, and demanding a return call. When people do call back, the scammer pretends to have a warrant for their arrest and says they can cancel it by making a payment through a Bitcoin machine. Some call for other forms of payment. No police officer or other law enforcement will ever demand payment of Bitcoin, gift cards or any other type to cancel a warrant, bail people out of jail or for any other action, Walsh said. So far, police do not know of any victims. Anyone who receives a call is urged to hang up and not call the number back. People should call police at 413-787-6355 if they did give any money to a scammer or if they want to verify a call is real before providing money, he said. Read the original article on MassLive.
