ND Highway Patrol Issues Alert on Statewide Scam
The North Dakota Highway Patrol (NDHP) has issued a warning regarding a fraudulent scam circulating across the state. This alert comes as residents report receiving calls from individuals posing as law enforcement officials, claiming that victims owe fines or fees. The scammers often pressure individuals into making immediate payments over the phone to avoid arrest or further legal action.
NDHP emphasizes that legitimate law enforcement agencies will never demand payment via phone or threaten arrests in such a manner. They advise residents to remain vigilant, and if they receive suspicious calls, to hang up and report the incident to local authorities.
To help combat this growing issue, the NDHP encourages everyone to share information about the scam within their communities to prevent further victimization. The public is reminded to verify the legitimacy of any callers claiming to represent law enforcement or governmental organizations.
These warnings underscore the importance of awareness and vigilance among North Dakota residents, ensuring that they are equipped to identify and report scams effectively. As the situation evolves, the ND Highway Patrol continues to monitor the trend and provide updates to keep the community informed.
