DON'T BE A VICTIM
The police department has seen an increase in high level frauds. OPD has fielded several calls for service involving victims giving out cash, gold, or purchasing gift cards and sending the information to someone they spoke to over the phone.
Recently, we have had suspects speak to the victims over the phone and even show up to get the items they are requesting at their homes. Do not provide any personal information over the phone or purchase gift cards for someone requesting payment. These are scams and are very hard to track down.
