Police in Geneva, Illinois warn of scam calls involving spoofed phone number
CBS News
Police in the west Chicago suburb of Geneva are warning of a scam involving spoofed phone numbers.
In the scam, someone pretending to be a Geneva police officer calls from a number that has been spoofed on caller ID to be the Geneva Polic Department number. The caller tells recipients that a package containing drugs has been accepted, a warrant has been issued for their arrest, and they may have been the victims of identity theft.
The caller than asks for financial information to fix the matter.
Geneva police received reports of 11 such calls this past Thursday alone. When recipients questioned the caller, the caller responded by yelling and swearing at them, police said.
