BGPD warning public of ongoing warrant phone scam

BOWLING GREEN, Ky. – The Bowling Green Police Department is warning residents of a recurring scam.

BGPD says a caller is telling victims that there is a warrant out for their arrest. The scammer then tells the victim that they can use gift cards for payment.

Residents cannot pay for any warrants using gift cards, and the BGPD does not make phone calls to notify individuals of warrants.

BGPD says potential victims should “hang up the phone.”
