The Austin Police Department is receiving complaints
regarding phone calls stating they are Austin Police Officers and using real
APD officers names. The caller states the person has warrants that have to
be paid or they will be arrested soon. WC2— Austin Police Dept (@Austin_Police) November 2, 2019
They claim urgency in paying and are telling the victims
to pay in gift cards.This is a criminal scam and anyone who has been defrauded
by this needs to call 311 to make a police report. WC2— Austin Police Dept (@Austin_Police) November 2, 2019
