The caller claims to be a Cambridge Police Captain, stating the victim missed jury duty and must pay a large sum to avoid jail. This tactic raises alarm as CPD does not have such a rank.
Victims reported hearing a siren and police radio noise during the call, enhancing the scam's credibility. Police maintain that they will never ask for personal information or payments over the phone.
Police remind residents to never share personal information unless certain of the contact’s identity and to reach out directly to verify any unusual communications.
Community members are urged to contact authorities if they receive calls that seem suspicious, assuring public safety vigilance against these deceptive practices.
