🚨 SCAM ALERT 🚨 The Grove City Police Department is warning residents about a recent scam involving their phone number and impersonation of law enforcement. On Wednesday, May 20, a victim reported being contacted by someone claiming to be from the Federal Trade Commission (FTC). The caller alleged the victim was involved in trade violations and fraudulent activity, stating there was a warrant issued and fines owed. The victim was instructed to send cash. When the victim questioned whether it was a scam, the caller said that “Grove City Police Chief Michael Allias” would contact them. Shortly after, the victim received another call appearing to come from the Grove City Police Department’s phone number (724-458-7925). A man posing as Chief Allias reassured the victim the situation was legitimate and directed them to mail cash to California. ⚠️ This is a scam. ⚠️ --- ✅ Key Signs of a Scam No government agency will ever ask for payment in cash sent through the mail. No legitimate business or agency will request payment via gift cards or money transfer services. No one should ever request remote access to your phone or computer. --- 🛑 What To Do If You Suspect a Scam Contact your local police department directly (do not rely on the caller to connect you). Talk to a trusted friend or family member — don’t let scammers rush you. Reach out to your bank to discuss any concerns or suspicious requests. --- Please stay alert and share this information to help protect others in our community.
