Getting complaints about spam phone calls from fake IRS agents trying to pilfer money from residents isn’t out of the ordinary for Lathrop Police Services this time of year. But having their own phone number show up on the Caller ID screens of the residents that were targeted is a new twist on what has become a year-round scam to try and milk money out unsuspecting consumers that fall for the threats that come in the phone call. According to Lathrop Police Services Chief James Hood, several complaints have been made this week from residents who were caught off guard by seeing the department’s number come up only to have somebody on the other end of the call demand payment or the local authorities would be paying them a visit.
