Police across Sarasota County are warning residents of yet another phone scam that has been reported.
This time around, the scammers are pretending to be members of the Sarasota Police Department, asking for donations.
Officials remind that no one with the Sarasota Police Department or county sheriff’s office will ever solicit funds over the phone or request personal information.
The calls may look like they’re coming from Sarasota, as scammers use voice-over IP technology to make it appear as they are local.
