Beware of spoofing phone calls! Phone scams are on the rise and criminals are faking their phone numbers on the Caller ID--they are even pretending to be calling from the Fremont Police Department Non-Emergency Line (510) 790-6800.
Our officers will never call from the non-emergency line to request for information or to solicit money. If you receive such a call, hang up! Criminals may fake a caller ID to display "Fremont Police Department" and may possibly use a name of a real Fremont Police personnel. They may state that you missed a subpoena, a fine for a ticket, a tax payment, or other fees and that you must pay them in order to avoid being arrested or being sued.
If you receive a call like this, it's a scam! Do not provide cash payment or any money transfers to anyone claiming to be from the Police Department, the City, the County, the Courts, or some type of government official. Learn more at fremontpolice.gov/scams.
