Starkville PD continues to receive citizen reports of scam calls
SUMMARY: The Starkville Police Department warns citizens about ongoing scam calls from individuals posing as law enforcement officers. These scammers threaten arrest unless payment is made, often related to summons or warrants, demanding payment over the phone or via prepaid cards. The police emphasize that while legitimate calls may occur, genuine officials will never ask for payment in this manner. They advise not to share personal information unless the caller’s legitimacy can be confirmed. If uncertain, residents should hang up and contact the purported organization directly.
