The Waverly Police Department is warning citizens of a scam that has been perpetrated recently. The scam involves a phone call where the caller identifies themselves as a Waverly Police Officer, sometimes specifically Officer Cooper, and informs the person receiving the call that they are the subject of an investigation of identity theft or drug offenses and they need to send payment to avoid being jailed. The Waverly Police Department says they will never demand money in lieu of criminal charges. They suggest calling your local police to verify this information if you receive a suspicious call and do not send any money.
