Division of Consumer Affairs – Alert -
New Jersey Division of Consumer Affairs has advised law enforcement of an incident where a police department's non-emergency phone number was spoofed. Spoofing is when a caller deliberately falsifies the information transmitted to your caller ID display to disguise their identity. Spoofing is often used as part of an attempt to trick someone into giving away valuable personal information so it can be used in fraudulent activity or sold illegally.
Consumer Affairs reported that someone received a call from what appeared to be a New Jersey Police Department non-emergency number alerting them to the fact their identity had been stolen. The caller told the person that drug traffickers had bought houses and cars in their name. The person called their local police department after receiving the call to see if the call was legitimate. The police department confirmed that no one from the department had called.
If anyone receives a questionable phone call from someone identifying themselves as police you can call South Brunswick Police directly at (732) 329-4646 to confirm the call.
