AWARENESS | Fake Police Bail Calls

A scam is going around where criminals call people pretending to be police officers. They may tell you that your brother, sister, or another family member has been arrested for a serious crime and is in danger. To make it more believable, they might say the victim’s family is outside the station and threatening retaliation.

The caller will then ask you to send money quickly for “bail,” usually through SMS banking, EFTPOS, or mobile transfer. They will pressure you to act fast and may even have another person call you pretending to be a relative of someone involved, offering to “help” collect the money. The goal is to scare you so you send money without checking the truth.

In reality, this is a coordinated scam. In one case, the family confirmed that the person who was supposedly arrested was actually at home safe. This shows how far scammers will go to create panic and confusion.

KNOW THE FACTS:
- Police will not ask for bail money over the phone
- Bail payments are not done through mobile money transfers
- Real police matters require you to go to the station in person

STAY SAFE:
Always stay calm and take a moment to verify. Call your family member or someone close to them, and contact the police station directly using official numbers. Never send money to someone you do not know or cannot confirm.

Remember: Stop – Think – Verify. Scammers rely on fear. Don’t let panic make the decision for you.
