Phone scammers pretending to be Cherry Hill Police Officers
We have been alerted that people are soliciting for donations and are claiming to be from the Cherry Hill Police Department.
This is a professional scheme; these fraudsters appear to be “spoofing” their caller ID and it could display on your phone as the Cherry Hill Police Department, or as our non-emergency number: 856-665-1200.
These scammers have asked victims to pay fines over the phones, informed them that they have warrants and asked for monetary donations.
We want our residents to know that we are NOT soliciting monetary donations. Credit card information should NEVER be provided over the phone to unverified individuals and businesses. The Cherry Hill Police Department will NEVER call you to ask you to pay a fine, and we will never call you to inform you that you have a warrant.
This is a nation-wide scam that many of our law- enforcement partners across the country are investigating. If you believe you have been a victim of this scam please DO NOT give the caller any of your personal or financial information, hang up, and call the non-emergency line 856-665-1200. Please be sure that you do not call the number back to do so, type the number into your phone instead.
