The Cedar Falls Police Division is warning the public about a phone scam involving the Cedar Falls Public Safety Department. The caller uses the name of an actual officer and the number shows up as the Cedar Falls Public Safety Department. The caller knows information about the person receiving the call and tells them they need to make a payment for not appearing in court. The Cedar Falls Police Division is reminding citizens not to give out any personal information over the phone or computer. Officers will not contact someone over the phone to make a payment. If a citizen receives a call like this they should just hang up. They can call the Public Safety Department if they have any questions.
