SCAM ALERT: STOP BEFORE YOU PAY

We recently received a report from a resident who was contacted by scammers claiming there was a problem with their Apple and Google accounts. The callers told them they could fix the problem—but only if they purchased a large amount of gift cards and provided them with the card numbers.

The following day, they received another call with instructions to send a large amount of cash hidden inside a magazine to an address across the country. The scammers later called again, claimed the money had not arrived, and demanded they send more.

Unfortunately, scammers can be extremely convincing. They may impersonate well-known companies, banks, government agencies, law enforcement, or other trusted organizations. They often create a sense of urgency and pressure you to act before you have time to question what is happening.

Please remember:
• Never purchase gift cards as payment for a service, account problem, debt, fine, or fee at the direction of an unknown caller.
• Never provide gift card numbers or PINs over the phone.
• Never mail or ship cash to someone you do not personally know.
• Do not trust the name or phone number displayed on Caller ID—these can be spoofed.
• If someone contacts you claiming there is a problem with an account, hang up and contact the company directly using a phone number or website you independently verify.
• If a caller tells you to keep the transaction secret, stay on the phone while you purchase gift cards, or act immediately, STOP. These are major warning signs of a scam.

Before sending money, gift cards, cryptocurrency, or anything else of value to someone you do not know, take a moment and talk to someone you trust.

When in doubt, hang up. Verify. And never let a caller pressure you into sending money.

Please share this information, particularly with family members, friends, and neighbors who may be vulnerable to these types of scams.

We need your help to make emergencies less scary!

The Cheshire Police Department has partnered with VIF (Vital Information at your Fingerprints) to connect residents with disabilities and special needs to 911 dispatch.

VIF gives Police, Fire and EMS access to important information that can help them better understand the individual they are responding to before arriving on scene.

Cheshire Residents with special needs or disabilities (or the people who care for them) should use the QR code or link below to enter personal information that could help our Public Safety teams communicate and interact with, respond to, and treat those residents in our community.

It's free. It's easy. It could save a life.
