Be advised that several residents have reported receiving threatening phone calls, demanding bitcoin to avoid arrest by the Bergen County Sheriff's Department. THIS IS A SCAM! Law enforcement will never demand bitcoin, cash or other payment over the phone for warrants. If you ever have doubts about a person stating they are a police officer over the phone, please hang up and contact that agency at a publicly verified phone number to confirm their actual identity. Legitimate police officers will understand this precaution by the public over the phone and not threaten you for taking these steps.
