Authorities are issuing warnings about a rising telephone scam that is targeting individuals across various regions, including Las Vegas and Ireland. Police at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas (UNLV) have alerted the public about scammers impersonating university police to solicit money. Concurrently, reports from Ireland indicate that customers are losing significant amounts of money, with estimates suggesting victims are conned out of between €6,000 and €8,000 due to fraudulent texts and calls claiming their bank accounts have been compromised. The San Francisco Police Department (SFPD) has also reported similar scams, where scammers contact residents claiming they have outstanding warrants and demand payment, using technology to spoof their caller ID with SFPD's number. These incidents highlight a broader trend of phone scams that are increasingly sophisticated and deceptive, prompting law enforcement agencies to urge the public to remain vigilant.
