Fraudulent Phone Calls Placed To Area Homeowners


Sturgeon Bay Officers in the past few days have been dispatched to multiple fraud complaints where the homeowners were contacted by a person stating a loved one was in jail in another state and or country and money was needed to set them free.  These calls are fraudulent and if you receive a similar call go ahead and hang up the phone.  Never ever send money to anyone you do not know.   Also make sure to never give out your social security number or your credit card information over the phone unless you are sure about who you are giving this information out to.  As always contact the Police Department with any questions you might have regarding these types of calls.
