Beware of Phone and Soliciting Scams

Stay Vigilant Regarding Telephone Scams

The Baltimore County Police Department is urging residents to remain vigilant regarding telephone scams in which individuals falsely claim affiliation with the Police Department to solicit funds. These imposters often use caller ID spoofing to imitate local police precincts; however such calls are not from law enforcement authorities. If you receive a suspicious call, hang up immediately. Do not provide any personal information or payment details. Call the local precinct to verify any claims and to make a report if needed.
