KPD said that the scammers reportedly were convincing and threatened the professionals with arrest for failing to show up in court as an expert witness.
The scammer would then offer the option to pay a fine to avoid arrest.
“KPD/courts/FBI/IRS will not call you asking for payment,” Kettering police wrote, “so if you receive a call do NOT provide a method of payment.”
SCAM ALERT! Scammers are getting more creative. We have received numerous calls from medical & psych professionals in the area who received a convincing call from "one of our officers."
