021/23 News Release - Phone Scam May 15, 2023
CrimeStoppers and the Honolulu Police Department want to warn the public about a phone scam that is occurring.
There have been several cases where the complainants have received a phone call from a male who stated that they were with the Honolulu Police Department and that the complainant was wanted for a warrant. They were then instructed to pay a monetary fine. The complainant became suspicious and called back the number on the caller ID. Upon calling the number, the call was connected to a police station where it was discovered that the phone number had been spoofed and no such call was made from HPD.
Law enforcement agencies including the Honolulu Police Department will never contact the public and request for payment to be made. Do not make any payments upon receiving such requests.
PHONE SPOOFING
There is an app that allows phone spoofing. It conceals the number of the phone being used and uses another phone number to appear in your caller ID.
It appears to be a Federal Government Agency or your local police department. This can also be used to imitate utility companies, Hawaii Electric Company or Board of Water Supply, in order to collect false debts.
Please contact the police if you receive these types of calls.
