HOPKINSVILLE, KY – The Hopkinsville Police Department is alerting the public to a recent phone scam affecting residents in the area.
The individual has been making calls to citizens, falsely claiming to be a member of HPD and telling the citizens that they have defaulted on a loan. The caller then states that if payment is not received, an arrest warrant will be issued within an hour of the call.
HPD would like the community to know that the caller is not a member of the department, and no one should interact with the individual.
