Rathdrum Police Department warns of scam phone calls

The Rathdrum Police Department wants the public to be aware of a recent phone scam that involves scammers pretending to be officers from Rathdrum PD. The scammers contact residents from what appears to be a departmental number, falsely informing them of a warrant against them.

"Our department will never contact you to demand payment or threaten arrest over the phone. If you receive such a call, do not share any personal information or make any payments," the Rathdrum Police Department posted to Facebook.
