“Jail phone call” scam
A new scam is circulating where callers are informing people their loved one is in the Snohomish County Jail and demanding payment via Zelle to have the individual released from the county jail facility.
This is a scam.
No law enforcement officer or judicial court employee will ever call you to demand money.
Fraudulent calls
Monroe Police emphasizes that legitimate law enforcement agencies do not conduct investigations where they request personal funds or sensitive information over the phone. A Monroe business fell for a fraud call along these lines.
ATM skimmers
Everett financial crimes detectives have noted an increase in “skimmer” devices attached to ATMs to steal debit card information.
They say if the card reader seems loose, crooked, or damaged, if the graphics aren’t aligned, or if part of the machine is a different color, don’t insert or swipe your card. Also, if the numbers are hard to press or feel thick, it might have a false keypad installed and you should move on to the next machine. Using the “tap” option for payment or a mobile wallet such as Apple Pay, Samsung Pay, or Google Pay is safer than inserting a card.
Real-time 911 updates introduced
The Snohomish County Sheriff’s Office recently announced technology to send 911 callers text message updates on their situation.
The technology can advise callers of a delayed response time and provide handy follow-up information, the sheriff’s office said in a press release. After an incident, people will get surveys, too.
This includes the Snohomish Police Department, too!
