Fitchburg Police are warning the community about a series of scam calls targeting seniors and others.
The warning notice that went out Friday follows calls from scammers claiming to be authority figures saying a member of the person’s family has been arrested. The caller then demands large amounts of money for cash bond to set the relative free.
First, the State of Wisconsin does not use bail bondsmen in any cases. Second, local authorities including police, judges, and lawyers will never contact people asking for money. They recommend hanging up immediately.
