The Burlington Police Department is warning residents about fraudulent emails from individuals posing as department personnel, including Chief Adam Schaefer. According to a recent statement, the scammers are using false Gmail accounts to impersonate officers and contact members of the community.
Officials stress that these emails are not from official Burlington Police Department accounts and may be attempts to solicit personal information or money. Residents are advised not to respond to suspicious messages or click on any links.
Police recommend verifying the sender’s email address, stating that official communications will come from a Burlington PD email domain, and recommend reporting suspicious emails to the department immediately.
