On 11/15/2021 at approximately 2100 hours officers of Doylestown Township Police Department met with the victim of a phone scam. The victim informed us he received a phone call from someone who claimed to be a Sergeant of the Bucks County Sheriffs Warrant Service Division. The phone scammer convinced the victim to pay them using a MoneyPak gift card to ensure a warrant would not be issued for their arrest.
The Bucks County Sheriffs Department is aware of the scam and wishes to inform the public they will never request payment using cash apps or prepaid gift cards.
If you receive a phone call similar to this incident simply hang up and do not provide any personal information to this caller.
