MILFORD, DE - The Milford Police Department is warning the public of recent phone scams.
The Milford Police Department says people in the community have been receiving phone calls from subjects posing as US Marshals. Police say subjects are requesting payment to clear the victims' "alleged wanted status."
MPD are reminding those in the community that "the Milford Police Department nor other state/federal law enforcement agencies will request payment for fines, traffic tickets, bail or to clear a warrant. All these transactions are conducted by the respective court systems and never over the phone. Electronic payments are also never requested via phone for court matters."
Further inquiries on phone scams can be found on the Federal Trade Commission's website.
