Conroe Police Warn Of Another Phone Scam

CONROE, TX — What’s worse than robocalls? Scam artists posing as police officers and threatening arrest, or demanding money for purported crimes. The Conroe Police Department has received a number of complaints again about this shakedown, and they want residents to know the calls are not coming from Conroe PD.

The callers are demanding personal information and using an app to conceal their phone numbers when reaching out to residents.

Scammers will often spoof legitimate numbers and use real officers names. If that happens police advise residents to hang up and calling police.

• Conroe Police Department, Texas dispatch 936-522-3200
• Montgomery County Sheriff's Office dispatch 936-760-5800

Conroe Police officials warn that their officers will not call anyone to demand money on outstanding warrants, or personal information.

A similar phone scam was reported to Conroe Police earlier this year, and phone scams were also reported
