The Fairbanks Police Department issued a statement warning residents to be on the lookout for 'spoofing' scams, including signs to be alert for.
FAIRBANKS, Alaska - The Fairbanks Police Department issued a statement warning residents to be on the lookout of “spoofing” scams, including what signs to be on alert for.
“FPD has received a couple calls notifying us of the similar incident,” Sweet remarked. “They’re a little bit different in how they come across, but a couple people have received a phone call from a person claiming to be me, the deputy chief, by name. The phone number that they’re using is a number from the Fairbanks Police Department. I think in this case it was the main line and not necessarily my line, but it was a valid FPD number that is coming across.
These calls rely on ‘spoofing’, in which one disguises their phone number to look like another. To identify if a caller may be looking to commit fraud, there are some red flags to be on the look out for.
