TERRE HAUTE, Ind. (WTWO/WAWV) Troopers of the Indiana State Police Putnamville District reported Wednesday that they have been told by citizens that individuals are using a phone scam to steal money in the form of gift cards with the threat of coming to citizens’ houses and causing them harm.
ISP reminds people that when receiving a call, never assume the caller ID is correct, and know that scammers will often use the names and numbers of local or national agencies or even family members. Those receiving a call from an unrecognized number should refrain from answering. If it s someone that needs you, they will leave a voicemail. If in doubt, call the local agency or family member back to verify the call or voicemail.
