The Portland Police Bureau is releasing a series of videos and social media posts with resources aimed at various frauds and phone scams that continue to widely circulate in our community:

IMPERSONATING AN OFFICER PHONE SCAM
Telephone scams impersonating a law enforcement officer are some of the most popular fraud schemes. A caller will say there is a warrant for a person’s arrest and they need to deposit money into a specified account. Or a caller will say they are an officer, sheriff or from border patrol. Hang up! No warrant service or law enforcement officer will ask you for money.

BANKING SCAMS
Be aware of communication from what appears to be your bank, whether it be an email, phone or text. Never provide personal information such as a PIN, password, or one time login code to someone who contacts you and claims to be your bank. If you call them, they may ask for it, but never the other way around.
