Midday Interview: Columbus Police on Financial Crimes

COLUMBUS, Ga. (WRBL) — Have you or someone you know been a victim of a scam recently?

Sgt. Jane Edenfield with the Columbus Police Department's property & financial crimes unit came by WRBL for a live interview. Edenfield walked us through the ins-and-outs of the latest financial scams.

One common theme Edenfield has seen is scammers trying to impersonate law enforcement officers through a variety of avenues, including social media. These scammers may even us an actual officer's name in order to make themselves more believeable.

Edenfield has all the details in the video up above.

If you think someone may be trying to scam you, Edenfield suggests giving the financial crimes unit of CPD a call — they should be able to give you some insight. That number is (706) 225-3151.
