Spoofing Scam-This is when a phone number comes up on your caller ID that you believe to be legitimate, when in fact it has been hijacked and used to deceive the person receiving the call. Recently the River Edge Police Department’s non- emergency number, 201-262-1233, and the Bergen County Sheriff’s number, 201-336-3500, were spoofed, with several residents receiving phone calls saying there was a warrant for their arrest for money laundering, unpaid taxes and/or utility bills.
