It’s a SCAM! Hang-up!
The Gulf Shores Police Department is warning residents of a recent scam that threatens people about being arrested for missing a Grand Jury session.
Police said on Monday they’ve received multiple reports of someone calling residents claiming they are with the police department and notifying residents that they’ve missed Grand Jury and must pay a fine or be arrested.
GSPD officials said in a recent social media post that they will not call residents to notify them of this.
According to the post, the scammer uses a “spoofed phone number,” so they don’t appear to live in the area.
The scammer is also using the names of Gulf Shores police officers, according to the post.
This scam is perpetrated across the country and often ends with people sending money to the callers.
The Gulf Shores Police say, “It’s a scam,”! “Just hang up!”
