The Hialeah Police Department is warning of a phone scam targeting people across the city.
Investigators say scammers are calling and pretending to be police officers, claiming victims have outstanding warrants, pending cases, or unpaid bonds.

In some cases they’re even using real officer names, badge numbers, and fake caller ID information to appear legitimate, authorities said.
Police stress they will never call and demand money from you to avoid an arrest, and urge anyone who gets one of these calls to hang up and report it at 305-687-2525.
