The Indiana State Police Fort Wayne Post received a complaint last week from a local citizen reporting a phone scam. The scammer called asking this citizen for the phone number of the local Indiana State Police Department, saying they were the victim of ID theft and needed the phone number so that he could alert the police. A short time after that call, this same citizen received another phone call, with the Caller ID showing “Indiana State Police” with the “260-432-8661” phone number.
