Pierceton P.D. Warns of Scam

Pierceton Town Marshall Tim Sammons says a caller claiming to be from the Pierceton Police Department has tried to scam a resident out of her bank account number. The resident was wise to the scam, declined to provide the information and then contacted the police. According to a news release, the scammer identified himself as “Officer Adams” and claimed that he needed the bank information so he could deposit money the resident had supposedly received from a grant program. Town Marshall Sammons say the Pierceton Police Department has no officer Adams and no member of his department ever makes such phone calls. He’d like anyone else who gets such a call to contact the Pierceton Police Department or their local law enforcement agency.
