The Grants Pass Dept of Public Safety has just learned of a scam involving our phone number. In it, the caller ID appears with 541-450-6260, and the caller is claiming to be an officer of our agency. The caller says they are assisting the Social Security Administration and asks for your social security number. Our agency will NEVER ask for your social security number over the phone. Additionally, if we call you, the caller ID will appear as Restricted or Anonymous; you will not see our phone number.
If you have received one of these phone calls and would like to report it, call the FTC at 877-382-4357.
If you believe you are the victim of identity theft, contact our office.
