Scammers Target Families of Inmates | Omaha News

Scammers are targeting families of inmates with fake calls from the Lincoln Police Department, demanding cash for ankle monitors or bond—starting at $500, then escalating to $3,000. They even pretend the inmate called them for help, playing on desperation and love. The real cops say they’ll NEVER ask for money over the phone—official payments go to Lancaster County Jail or Nebraska DOC. If you get one of these calls—or worse, pay up—call Lincoln PD at 402-441-6000 immediately. Don’t fall for it. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
