Don't Give Out Your Info: NYSP issue warning on phone scam
NEW YORK (WWTI) – The public is being warned by the New York State Police about a persistent phone spoofing scam in which con artists pose as law enforcement or government representatives to obtain private information from individuals. According to State Police, people have reported receiving calls in recent days from numbers that seem to be New York State Police phone lines. The callers, posing as law enforcement, have demanded personal information, including Social Security numbers, and have threatened to take punitive action against those who do not comply. These calls are fake. Legitimate government entities, including the New York State Police, will never call someone and request private information or threaten to arrest them or take legal action. If You Receive a Suspicious Call: Do not provide any personal information. Do not send money or make payments under threat. Hang up immediately—even if the caller ID appears legitimate. Save any voicemails and record the phone number if possible. Verify the call by contacting the agency directly using a trusted number; and The New York State Police urge all residents to remain vigilant and to report any suspicious activity involving impersonation of law enforcement or government agencies. Scammers all throughout the country frequently use phone number spoofing to make calls seem like they are from reputable organizations. These scams aim to instill fear and bewilderment in their victims, which frequently results in them complying with requests or disclosing information that could be used to perpetrate additional fraud.
