MCPD Issues Scam Advisory

The Mt. Carmel Police Department would like to inform citizens of ongoing scam calls making their way around the city. If you receive any calls from someone reporting to be with an unemployment office, law enforcement agency, or social security office do not provide any personal information to them. These agencies will not call you and ask for personal information. The scammers use scare tactics such as threats of an arrest warrant to obtain compliance. Just hang up the phone when you receive these calls. Anyone who has fell victim to similar type scams recently should call the Mt. Carmel Police Department and file a report.
