St. Cloud Police: Crime Alert - Scam Attempt by
Impersonation of St. Cloud Police Employees
The St. Cloud Police Department would like to alert the public that we
have been advised of a local telephone scam attempt where the caller is
impersonating a member of the St, Cloud Police Department.
The scam is a variant of the age~old scam of soliciting the potential
victims to provide upfront money to claim a large cash prize. In this
instance, an elderly lady was contacted by phone and asked to send $3,000
so she could receive a $300,000 cash prize that she had won.
The caller stated he was a member of the St. Cloud Police Department and
impersonated a member of the department by name.
The caller advised the elderly lady to contact the St. Cloud Police
Department to verify that he was an employee in an attempt to further
legitimize this Scam.
We would like the public to be aware of this impersonation attempt and
advise the public that St. Cloud Police employee names are often included
in media reports and other documents which can be located easily by
Internet search.
