Montgomery County Police Department Warns of Phone Scam

By MCS Staff

Published September 30, 2022 at 6:48PM

Montgomery County Police Sergeant Shing Yuen recently shared a warning of a phone scam on the popular Nextdoor app. The scam involves the scammer disguising their number to make it look like it’s coming from a local police station (the caller ID would show the number of the local station). The scammer, acting as an officer, then states that the resident myst make a payment for a made up infraction and instructs the resident to make the payment through various methods. The full post can be seen below:

“Phone Scam Alert! Over the last several weeks, Montgomery County residents have received calls from a person stating that he/she is a Montgomery County Police (MCP) Officer. The scammer has “spoofed” (disguised) his number to make it appear that the call is coming from a Police Station. There are variations of this police impersonator scam but generally, the “officer” states that the resident has to make payment – for a bond, warrant, missed court hearing, or fine.
