 <\/p>\n

The Northampton County Sheriff\u2019s Department has received reports about a male caller identifying himself as Lieutenant George Volpe in regards to a county resident being wanted on a warrant. The caller then states that the resident needs to pay via a bank check or a money order or they will be immediately arrested.<\/span><\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n

The public should be aware that this is a scam. The Sheriff\u2019s Department does not call residents and solicit money in lieu of arrest<\/span><\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n

Please report any suspicious solicitations to the Pennsylvania Attorney General\u2019s office at 800-441-2555 or email them at\u00a0scams@attorneygeneral.gov<\/a><\/span><\/div>\n
