Seymour police are warning of a scam that led to a person dressed as if a police officer coming to a home to collect money from a victim.

According to the department, scammers called the victim, saying that a grandchild had been arrested and that the victim needed to pay a large amount of money to get them free. The victim withdrew the money from the bank and the scammer said that they could pick up the cash for another $45 fee. The scammer said that fee had to be paid with a credit card, so the victim gave them that number.

The victim was still on the phone with the scammer, when a person arrived dressed almost like a police officer to collect the cash. They were wearing a white surgical mass and driving a black or dark-colored vehicle.

Seymour police urge you to be alert to anyone calling demanding cash or credit card information. If you have any information on the incident, you can call the Seymour Police Department tip line at 812-523-7629.

Teams of conservation officers and their dogs from four states are beginning their training at the Atterbury Fish and Wildlife Area in Johnson County this week.

The Indiana Department of Natural Resources says that six teams from Indiana, Kansans, Oregon and Utah are taking part in the 9-week long K-9 Resource Protection Program at Atterbury.

According to DNR, the Indiana program trains teams in human-tracking, wildlife detection and article searches. All canines are trained to locate white-tailed deer, wild turkey, waterfowl, and ginseng. They may also be trained to locate other species, depending on where the handler is stationed.

The teams provide conservation officers an essential tool to help stop poaching. The teams have been used to find concealed game and guns, as well as to find shell casings in road hunting and hunting-with-a-spotlight cases.

Indiana has also helped start and train teams from natural resource agencies in Idaho, Kentucky, Maryland, Virginia, Washington, and the African country of Zambia.

Since starting the program in 1997, there are now 13 Indiana conservation officers and dog teams in the state, with at least one team stationed in each of the state’s 10 law enforcement districts.

Indiana State Police are warning about a scam that tries to get you to pay money to a fake trooper to avoid going to jail.

According to the agency, phone calls that appear to be coming from the Indiana State Police headquarters in Indianapolis are showing up with the caller claiming to be an officer. The fake trooper then will tell you that you have outstanding drug charges pending in Texas. The scammer then threatens that you will be arrested if you don’t pay a fine immediately.

State police say that they will never call and demand a payment for any reason.

Troopers caution that phone scammers are persuasive, convincing, and technically savvy. They will play on your emotions and fears in order to get access to your personal information and their hands on your money.

You should never give out your personal information over the phone including your date of birth, social security number, or bank and credit card numbers.

You can help protect yourself by ignoring unsolicited phone calls and just hanging up if something doesn’t feel right.
