  • The phone scam is back in full force.

    The phone scam is back in full force.

    Please be aware of phone callers claiming that a family member was in a crash. Recently, citizens received calls saying that a family member was in a crash and asked for the recipient’s information so they could confirm their identity. When asked which family member was injured, the caller does not provide that information. When asked for the caller’s information, the caller does not provide anything. As you can see, this is a phishing call where the caller is attempting to gather information from the call recipient. Recently the number 720-365-3887 is showing on caller ID. If you receive a call and are unsure of the validity, do NOT give the caller any information. If the caller is valid, they will not avoid telling you their agency and name. You can also ask for the caller’s phone number that you can call back to verify their agency.

     

    TIPS:

    • Do not give the caller any personal information.
    • Ask for the caller’s agency.
    • Ask for the caller’s name and employee number.
    • Ask for the caller’s agency phone number.
    • Tell the caller that you are going to call back on that number to verify their identity.
    • Do not use the number provided to call them back.
    • Use the internet or phone book to find an agency phone number and call that.
    • Call another local agency and ask for them to transfer you to the other agency.
