Just got it! Thank you

My husband has received several of these texts over the last few weeks. Luckily he always asks me about them before clicking anything.

***PHONE SCAM ALERT***

Its that time of year again for scams around tax season. We have received several complaints from residents regarding reports of phone scams for money.

The most common scam phone call reported by victims involves someone impersonating a Wentzville Police Officer or another law enforcement officer or agent.

The scammer states the victim has felony warrants but they can pay over the phone by providing gift card information or even more dangerously, personal banking information.

To be clear, the Wentzville Police Department or the Wentzville Municipal Court will NEVER contact you for payment over the phone.

Please dont hesitate to contact us if you have any questions. Please DO NOT buy gift cards and give the scammer the pin numbers or provide any banking or personal information.
Thank you, be safe!
