Police in Brockport are issuing a warning about a phone scam in which people identify themselves as Brockport police officers.
The department has a warning on its Facebook page saying people have gotten calls from someone identifying himself as a law enforcement officer and trying to get money for outstanding tickets. The number they call from shows on caller ID as the Brockport department’s office number.
Police say the scammers ask for money to be transferred via Western Union or a similar money service. They say they don’t try to collect fines or outstanding debts in this way.
