Eagle Pass Police Department Scam Alert

(PSA) The Eagle Pass Police Department has received notification of a possible “Scam” occurring via cellular telephones.

Telephone calls are being received from one’s own cellular telephone number and are believed to be occurring to verify active cellular telephones in order to commit a fraudulent act in the future.

It is highly recommended that one refrains from providing any type of personal or financial information without first verifying the source of the telephone call.

It is unknown where these telephone calls are originating from and are believed to be persons who may be preparing to commit a fraudulent act during this tax season and may be “fishing” for personal information to do so. Cities such as Uvalde and Laredo are also experiencing the same types of telephone calls.

If you believe you have been a victim of an act of fraud as a result of one of these types of telephone calls, please notify the Eagle Pass Police Department in order to file an official report.
