The London Police Department is investigating a phone scam and are advising citizens to be aware. The scam caller claims that the potential victim is involved in money laundering and tries to convince them to pull their money out of the bank and give them their social security number so they can be issued a “new” social security number. Another tactic is they are “Spoofing” the London Police Department’s phone number and try to convince potential victims that they have pending charges. Officers say you should never give out personal or banking information to strangers. They say the London Police Department, nor any other government agency will call to gather your information in this manner or request your banking information due to “Pending Charges”. If you feel that you have become a victim to identity theft, you can come to the London Police Department to file a report.
