The Lubbock Police Department (LPD) is warning citizens of scammers attempting to reach them by phone. LPD stresses the point that they will never ask for money over the phone while also offering some tips on how to avoid falling victim to these phone scams. Reports claim that callers will state that they are from the police department or other departments in the City of Lubbock. They remind everyone that the department will never text or call individuals about warrants or asking for money. Once you get ahold of the legitimate department, go ahead and ask them if they attempted to contact you personally.
