Protect Yourself From Arrest Scams

Scammers posing as police are calling people to claim they failed to show up for court. The scammers email fake court documents and warrants that appear to support their claims.

Here’s what you need to know to protect yourself:

  • Police never call people to say they’re about to be arrested
  • Police never demand payments from people
  • Courts do not accept gift cards or crypto currency
