Salina Post
The Salina Police Department (SPD) has announced they have received various reports of 'scam calls and texts' impersonating to be from the police department and Salina Municipal Court.
According to SPD, these scams have been threatening people with 'legal action and demand payment for missed court appearances or alleged unpaid fines.' SPD advises people to be aware that neither the Salina Police Department nor the Salina Municipal Court will contact individuals via phone or text to collect fines.
SPD also states that all legitimate communications regarding fines will be handled through official channels.
If you have received a call like this, DO NOT engage or provide any personal information, and hang up immediately.
