State Police are warning people of another scam going around, where people receive a call allegedly from a police department and demanding money so that the caller is not arrested. The caller typically mentions something about the person needing to pay for a warrant or that they found drugs in packages shipped to their address and need to pay immediately so that they don’t go to jail. Police will not call residents & demand money over the phone, they definitely will NOT ask you to pay with Crypto or Google Play cards or gift cards.
