The Scam calls are from a person identifying himself as an officer of the court or a police officer. He tells the person answering the phone they are the subject of an arrest warrant for traffic violations and requests money. He specifically requests the victim obtain a Green Dot money card and provide him with the pin number to pay the fake fine. These calls are a scam the person perpetrating the scam claims to be a Lieutenant Stevens and calls from a 781 area code. To be clear the police do not handle warrants this way, the police would never call your home and ask for money to clear up a warrant, this&nbsp;is a scam we want people to be aware of. If you have any concerns or receive a call like this call the Sudbury Police at 978-443-1042<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Scam Involving Traffic Fines <a href=\"https:\/\/sudbury.ma.us\/police\/2013\/11\/14\/scam-involving-traffic-fines\/\" aria-label=\"Read full article about Scam Involving Traffic Fines\">Read full article<span class=\"meta-nav\">&rarr;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"inline_featured_image":false},"categories":[1,6],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/sudbury.ma.us\/police\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/177"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/sudbury.ma.us\/police\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/sudbury.ma.us\/police\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sudbury.ma.us\/police\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sudbury.ma.us\/police\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=177"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/sudbury.ma.us\/police\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/177\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/sudbury.ma.us\/police\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=177"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sudbury.ma.us\/police\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=177"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sudbury.ma.us\/police\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=177"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
