Beware Atlanta Residents Scammers Impersonating Police to Collect Payments by Phone

• Share on:

The DeKalb County Sheriff’s Office is warning residents about scammers impersonating police to collect payments over the phone. These calls, which may appear convincing due to local area codes, often threaten arrest for outstanding warrants unless payment is made immediately. Authorities emphasize that the Sheriff’s Office will never request payment by phone and advise residents to verify any suspicious calls by contacting their local police department directly.
