The NLCRPD learned of a scam today that involved NLCRPD and Lititz Borough Police Officer names and department phone numbers. The scammers are spoofing police department phone numbers and pretending to be a police officer. They will tell you that there is a warrant or bond out for your arrest. The next set of instructions you will get is how much your bond is, which business they want you to go to and what they want you to purchase, usually bitcoin or gift cards. Unfortunately, most of the time you will never see your money again.
At no time will the police or local Sheriff's Department ask you to withdraw cash and purchase bitcoin or gift cards. If you receive one of these calls, please hang up and contact your local police department right away. Please visit the FCC website for more information. Attached is a flyer from the FCC.
