PPD Warns of Repeat Phone Scam

  The Peoria Police Department reports a phone scam being repeated in the area. The caller claims to be employed by, or affiliated with local law enforcement and claims a warrant has been issued for the receiver’s arrest. Instructions are then given to withdraw funds, and to send them through electronic transfer in order to avoid arrest. The Peoria Police Department reminds people law enforcement does not utilize such methods. The agency asks people receiving such calls to contact local police with any information.
