Enterprise Police warn of phone scam

May 07,2024

The Enterprise Police Department would like to inform the public of a phone scam that has shown up recently in the Enterprise area. The potential victim may receive a phone call from a subject purporting to be an Officer from a law enforcement agency.
The caller will inform the potential victim that arrest warrants have been issued for them and advise them to obtain a money card for a certain dollar amount from CVS to pay their fines or face arrest. The Enterprise Police Department will never demand payment over the telephone. Do not give these callers any information.
The Enterprise Police Department has the following tips for community members:
•Anytime you receive a call and are asked in any way to send money, you should immediately be suspicious.
•Never provide any personal information or financial information to the caller.
•Never wire money, provide debit card numbers, or pre-paid card numbers to someone you do not know.
•Always independently verify information you receive from suspicious phone calls.
