Eagle Point Police Department Warns of Scammers Requesting Personal Information
The Eagle Point Police Department received reports Monday of scammers calling residents and claiming to be with the Jackson County Sheriff's Office.
The callers would say there were "bench warrants" issued and that the person should not hang up the phone, or risk being arrested. The caller would then start asking questions about license plates, addresses, and eventually insist a payment was made to the "finance department".
The caller ID would show the call as coming from the Sheriff's Office, but the number was actually a "spoofed" number.
EPPD wants to let the public know officers do not call to report warrants, and they do not ask for money over the phone. If scammers tell you to wire money or send cash cards, hang up and do not share any personal information, bank account numbers, or credit card information.
