Little Rock Police Warn Businesses of New Scam Impersonating Law Enforcement
The Little Rock Police Department is issuing a warning to business owners and managers in Arkansas regarding a new scam. Scammers are reportedly impersonating federal law enforcement agencies, including the FBI and U.S. Marshals, to demand payments for alleged missing funds from businesses. The police department clarified through a social media post that no legitimate law enforcement agency will contact individuals by telephone to request or accept payments. This fraudulent activity aims to exploit businesses by creating a false sense of urgency and authority. The Little Rock Police Department is urging anyone who receives such calls to report them immediately to prevent further incidents and protect businesses from financial loss.
