SECAUCUS, NJ – Residents in Secaucus have reported a phone scam this week involving the Secaucus Police Department. At least, that’s what the caller claims.
Police said an unknown actor has been making calls to residents claiming to be a representative of the Secaucus Police Department, notifying residents of an outstanding warrant. They go on to tell residents that if they do not pay the warrant, they will be arrested.
It is, of course, a lie.
“We have received reports that residents have received phone calls where the caller identifies himself as a Secaucus Police Detective. This impersonator then threatens arrest via warrant if payment is not received,” the department said today.
The SPD says if you receive this call, hang up immediately and call 201-330-2060. Do not send any method of payment as the call is a confirmed scam.
