PEORIA HEIGHTS, Ill. – An all-too-familiar scam once again rears its ugly head — this time, in a somewhat different form.
Police in Peoria Heights say they’ve been made aware that residents are getting phone calls saying they’re from the police department, you’re wanted, and need to turn yourself in or pay a fine over the phone.
Police say if you were wanted, they’d come to you to talk about the matter, and you would not be able to pay over the phone.
If you get such a call, police say hang up and block the number.
