Scammers posing as Owasso police

OWASSO, Okla. — Scammers are trying to steal your money by posing as the police.

The Owasso Police Department said multiple reports have been taken from people who received a phone call in which the caller claims to be from the police department.

The caller claims that a relative has been arrested or injured in an accident and attempts to solicit money via credit card or wire transfer.

Officers say the scammers have even managed to hack the caller ID so that it shows up as ‘City of Owasso.’

Owasso police want people to know those calls are not coming from the city.

If you get one of those calls, you should not give out any personal information and you should hang up.
