The latest scam has hit Sedgwick, with several people receiving calls from a person claiming to be Chief Bryan Hall, threatening the person and saying there are outstanding fines. “We received phone calls from a few people that said they didn’t answer for the unknown number and the person left a message, indicating it was a serious legal matter, that they identified themselves as Chief Bryan Hall and the number came in from our main number,” Hall said. “That’s something that people can use computers to clone numbers, but the number they left to call back was a Google number.” If something is suspicious, Hall wants the public to reach out and bring it to the police department attention. These scammers are ever-evolving, trying to steal money by changing tactics, whether it’s by phone or by email.
