MERIDIAN, Idaho The Meridian Police Department is warning people about a phone scam that is taking place in the Treasure Valley.
Several residents have received calls from an unknown phone number claiming to be with the Warrant and Citation Division with the Meridian Police Department and wanting to speak with caller about a legal matter. The caller uses real names of officers and tells them they must pay unpaid fines or face arrest.
The phone number is not a legitimate one, but some caller IDs show that it is coming from the Meridian Police Department. The caller leaves a very official sounding voicemail telling citizens it s an urgent matter and they need to call back to a specific phone number that is not from the department.
