Multiple law enforcement agencies and city officials across the United States have issued warnings about a series of phishing and phone scams targeting residents. The scams involve callers impersonating sheriff's offices, city officials, or law enforcement personnel, often using caller ID spoofing technology to appear legitimate. Victims are being asked for money, including requests for bitcoin payments, or pressured to provide sensitive financial information. Specific warnings have come from the Lauderdale County Sheriff’s Office in Alabama, the Hampden County Sheriff in Massachusetts, the Spotsylvania County Sheriff's Office in Virginia, and the City of San Marcos in Texas. Additionally, residents in northeastern Pennsylvania and the Carolinas have been targeted by utility and phishing scams. The Newport News Police Department has also alerted the public to an in-person scam involving cellular devices and bank accounts. Authorities advise anyone receiving such calls to hang up immediately and avoid sharing any financial details.
