The Boston Police Department warned about a scam where people are pretending to be Boston Police Department detectives. The scammers contact victims, claiming to be from the Human Trafficking Unit, and accuse them of visiting adult websites, as reported by the Boston Police Department.
Fraudsters are demanding money from victims by claiming there are investigations or search warrants against them. The Boston Police Department says this is part of a larger scam related to human trafficking, according to the Boston Police Department.
The Boston Police Department urges victims of a scam to report it. If you or someone you know has been affected, contact the police or call 9-1-1 for help. Detectives are working to find and arrest those responsible.
