Email / Internet Scams...... Help to Protect Yourself

special message from our POP Officer Alex Turcotte/Sergeant, Problem Oriented Policing Unit / City of Citrus Heights Police Dept.---- & a special thank you for the information.

One of the residents at the NA4 meeting last night brought up a question about Internet Scams and if there were any agencies tracking them. I wanted to provide this information to you so that you could pass it along to your constituents.

Email/ Internet scams can be reported directly to the Internet Crime Complaint Center at http://www.ic3.gov/default.aspx  This is a collaborative effort between the FBI and the National White Collar Crime Center. You can also review recent scam information and public service announcements from this agency at the same site. There is a link on our CHPD website that will take you straight there as well, simply go to www.citrusheightspd.net and click on the “Scam Email Alert” button on the bottom left corner.

While you are on the CHPD site explore around. We are constantly adding new information and looking for ways to provide better information to the community. You can make view criminal activity in your area, file crime reports, enter traffic complaints, report suspicious activity and stay up to date on our most recent news and media releases.
