I hope everybody had a great weekend.
This morning I received information of a SCAM that occurred this weekend, the caller advised he was the Chief of Police and there was a warrant for the would be victim's arrest for missing court last week and now he needed to post an online bond of $20,000, the caller gave him a website to go to and a call back number. Luckily, the gentlemen did not go to the website and gave no personal information over the phone.
The Buchanan Police Department will never call or text you and ask for money, fine money or bond money.
If this happens to you hang up the phone, and call your local law enforcement.
Thank you and have a great week.
