OSHKOSH (NBC 26) -- Police are warning the public of a new phone scam in which the alleged scammer impersonates an Oshkosh Police officer.
According to the Oshkosh Police Department, a person received a phone call from a male stating that he was an officer with the Oshkosh Police Department. This male told the person that they had a court order to appear in court and that they didn’t show up. They were advised that they needed to call a number, 920-350-3795.
When this male called, police said the caller ID showed it was the Oshkosh Police Department calling from the department's non-emergency number.
Police said officers from the Oshkosh Police Department may call citizens in regards to investigations but they would not call about missing court or having a court order to appear in court.
If anyone receives a phone call like this or has additional information please contact Detective Vang at 920-236-5700.
