Notice from Milton Police Dept Facebook Page

Attention residents. NEW Telephone SCAM – Write down this number 832-742-7488. It will appear on your caller ID as “Fraudulent Investigations.” A prerecorded message directs you to an alleged investigator who supposedly you have a pending case on an outstanding debt.

We (MPD) have called the number today. As soon as we identified ourselves, the phone went dead and the screen blank. Preliminary information is that this number traces back to India. While we wish we could tell you more about how they work this scam, they have they cut the resident off right away as soon as she question the call. Take note of this one. Definitely NOT legit…..Thanks “Joanna” for your email and quick attention on this issue.
