Imagine relaxing quietly in your easy chair, ensconced within your Fishers home.  You receive a phone call with the shocking news that there is a warrant out for your arrest.

You are then told this can all be handled with a $2,000 pre-paid credit card.  Sadly, there have been some residents of Fishers victimized by this latest phone scam.

Fishers Police issued a news release today telling local residents that law enforcement agencies do not call the “wanted person” prior to serving a warrant.  Warrants are issued by a court of law and the only way to resolve it is to appear in court.

Police want you to simply hang up the phone when calls like this are received.  If you believe you have been victimized,  immediately contact the Hamilton County Dispatch Center, at 317-773-1282, and request to file a report with a Fishers police officer.
