PORT CHESTER, NY (September 19, 2025) — The Port Chester Police Department is alerting residents to a scam involving fraudulent phone calls from individuals posing as police officers.
The department has received several calls to its headquarters regarding the scam from phone number 914-679-9659. The scam involves a male posing as a Port Chester Police Officer. The scam is to convince people that they missed a court date, and that in order to resolve their court case a monetary payment must be made.
“The Port Chester Police Department will never solicit money over the phone, nor for court related matters,” the department stated in its alert. “If you receive a call believed to be scam, please hang up and not provide any personal information. Please share this post among family members and friends to prevent any future scam victims.”
