DeWitt Township Police have issued an urgent warning to residents about a sophisticated security program scam that has been targeting local residents. The scam appears to involve fraudulent claims about security software, with perpetrators attempting to deceive victims into providing personal information or making payments for non-existent protection services. Authorities are advising extreme caution when receiving unsolicited communications about security programs.

This type of scam typically involves callers claiming to represent legitimate security companies or tech support services, pressuring victims to act quickly to protect their devices. The DeWitt Township Police Department emphasizes that legitimate security companies do not make unsolicited calls demanding immediate action or payment. Residents are urged to verify any security-related communications directly with known companies through official channels rather than responding to unexpected contacts.

Law enforcement officials recommend that residents hang up immediately on suspicious calls, avoid clicking links in unsolicited emails, and never provide personal or financial information to unverified sources. The police department is working to identify the source of these fraudulent activities and encourages anyone who has been targeted to report the incident, even if no money was lost. Quick reporting helps authorities track scam patterns and potentially prevent others from falling victim to similar schemes.
