San Pablo Police Warn Residents of Immigration Scam Exploiting Community Fears

Scammers impersonate immigration officials, leveraging fake deportation notices to demand personal information or payments.

The San Pablo Police Department has issued a warning about an immigration scam targeting residents with fake deportation notices.
Scammers are impersonating immigration officials and demanding personal information or payments from their victims.
One tactic involves distributing packages labeled 'you are being deported,' falsely claiming to contain official documents.
Authorities emphasize that real immigration officials will never request payments over the phone or threaten immediate action.
Residents are advised to avoid sharing personal details with unknown callers or messages and to report suspicious communications to the police.
