WAYNESBORO, VA (Rocktown Now) – The Waynesboro Police Department has recently received multiple reports regarding a telephone scam targeting members of the community.

According to an online release, WPD says a spoofing application is once again being used to make fraudulent calls look like they are coming from the official Waynesboro Police Department phone number.

In some cases, familiar names are being used to make their false claims seem more credible to local residents.

The scammers offer to either issue or cancel outstanding warrants in exchange for immediate payment.

The WPD does not accept payment to resolve or issue warrants based on failure to meet financial demands.
