Marion Police Department Reports Phone Scam

The Marion Police Department received calls from residents regarding a phone scam. 

Residents have been receiving spoofed calls from the Marion Police Department phone number 740-387-2525 and an individual with a foreign accent states that they have a warrant and attempts to collect money from them over the phone. 

This is NOT the Marion Police Department and this is not how the department resolves warrants. 

If you or someone you know receives this kind of call, disconnect the call.

Do not give out your financial information over the phone.
