Scam Alert Police Calls for Money | Tampa News

Scammers are back with a nasty twist: fake cops calling from Largo, claiming you’ve got an outstanding warrant and demanding cash to clear it. Don’t fall for it — legit law enforcement will NEVER ask for money over the phone. These guys spoof caller IDs, use real-sounding names and badges, and try to trick you into sending cash, gift cards, or crypto. If you get one of these calls, hang up immediately. Never give out personal info or pay anything. Verify by calling Largo PD’s official number yourself. Bottom line: if a cop asks for money, it’s a scam. Stay alert and protect your wallet.
