in Fraud & Scams, Security & Risk

The Metropolitan Police Department (MPD) has issued multiple warnings about ongoing scams in which individuals impersonate law enforcement officers to defraud victims. These fraudulent activities involve both phone calls and emails, with perpetrators employing various tactics to deceive residents.

Phone Scams:

In several reported instances, scammers have replicated legitimate MPD phone numbers—a technique known as “spoofing”—to appear credible. Victims receive calls informing them of alleged arrest warrants due to missed court dates or jury duty. The callers often pressure individuals to visit police headquarters or threaten imminent arrest unless a payment is made. In some cases, scammers have demanded personal information or immediate financial transactions as alternatives to arrest.

Email Scams:

More recently, there have been reports of scammers utilizing email to impersonate MPD officers. These emails may contain images of MPD badges and fabricated identification cards to enhance their legitimacy. The content typically mirrors phone scam tactics, alleging legal actions against the recipient and soliciting payments to resolve the fabricated issues.

Official Responses and Recommendations:

The MPD emphasizes that it never solicits monetary funds, bank information, or Social Security numbers over the phone or via email. Residents are advised to remain vigilant and consider the following precautions:

  • Verify the Source: Do not feel pressured to act immediately. Scammers may use publicly available information to appear legitimate. Always verify unsolicited communications by contacting the appropriate agency directly using official contact information.
  • Protect Personal Information: Refrain from sharing credit card numbers, personal details, or financial information with unknown callers or email senders. MPD will never request payments or sensitive information in this manner.
  • Community Awareness: Inform friends and family about these scams to help protect the broader community. Sharing knowledge of such fraudulent activities can prevent others from falling victim.

For individuals concerned about active D.C. Court arrest warrants, the MPD advises visiting the DC Courts Active Warrant List or contacting the D.C. Courts directly at (202) 879-1010. Those with questions regarding jury summons should reach out to the D.C. Court Juror Office at (202) 879-4604 or via email at [email protected].

If you have been targeted by such scams or possess information related to these fraudulent activities, please contact the MPD’s Financial and Cyber Crimes Unit at (202) 727-4159 or via email at [email protected].

By staying informed and exercising caution, residents can help safeguard themselves and others from these deceptive schemes.
