The Northampton County Sheriff’s Department has received reports about a male caller identifying himself as Lieutenant George Volpe in regards to a county resident being wanted on a warrant. The caller then states that the resident needs to pay via a bank check or a money order or they will be immediately arrested.

 

The public should be aware that this is a scam. The Sheriff’s Department does not call residents and solicit money in lieu of arrest

 

Please report any suspicious solicitations to the Pennsylvania Attorney General’s office at 800-441-2555 or email them at scams@attorneygeneral.gov
