Crescent City Police warn of phone scam

Crescent City Chief of Police Richard Griffin wrote on the department’s Facebook page warning of phone scam.

“I have received information just now that people are receiving phone calls asking for donations to be made to the Crescent City Police Department,” Griffin wrote. “This is a SCAM, do not give out any information to them. No one is currently authorized to be asking for donations to the CCPD.”

Griffin advises if anyone receives a phone call like this to write down their phone number and contact the CCPD. Additionally, he emphasized to not give out any personal information or bank account information.

“If you have any questions about this or need to verify any attempts of donations in the future, do not hesitate to contact my department at 707-464-2133,” Griffin wrote.
