GREEN BAY, WI (WTAQ) – The Green Bay Police Department is warning of a phone scam.
Police say residents have been reporting that they have been receiving calls from someone that claims to be from the police department, telling the victim that a relative was in custody.
The caller then asked for bail money. Officers say the department’s number is even showing up on caller ID.
Officers say if you receive a similar call, you should hang up and call the police department yourself and contact the family member to confirm that they are okay, but never give payment.
