We want our Tiburon community to be aware of a troubling scam that's been making the rounds. Several residents have recently reported receiving phone calls from individuals falsely claiming to represent the Tiburon Police Department. These callers tell recipients they've missed a court date or have an outstanding warrant, hoping to create panic and confusion.
Please know that these calls are fraudulent. The Tiburon Police Department will never contact you by phone demanding that you turn yourself in, nor will they ever request payment in any form—whether cash, gift cards, or cryptocurrency. These tactics are hallmarks of scammers preying on people's trust in law enforcement.
If you receive one of these suspicious calls, the best course of action is simple: hang up immediately. Do not provide any personal information or send money. If you have concerns about the legitimacy of the call or want to verify any information, please contact the Tiburon Police Department directly at (415) 789-2801.
Your safety and security are our top priorities. By staying informed and vigilant, we can work together to keep our community protected from these deceptive schemes.
