                              KIDNAPPING SCAM

Attention Holbrook Residents:  Residents of our community have been targeted by a popular phone extortion scam.  In these cases generally an unknown person(s) will call or text the victim and make ficticious claims that a family member is being held captive and will be harmed or held until the victim pays a specific sum of money.  It is not uncommon for the caller to know basic information about the family member and often the call comes from a blocked number.  The suspect(s) will gain information of your relatives by the answers you provide during the conversation.

The suspect(s) have been calling cellular phone numbers.  In the event you receive one of these phone calls please do the following:

1. Ask the caller specifics where the family member is located.

2. Have the caller physically describe the family member to see if the caller can provide some level of detail that could help dispel or confirm the claim.

3. After gathering as many details as possible during the call the resident should attempt to make contact with the person that is allegedly being held captive and confirm their safety. 

4. If a text is received the resident should first make contact with the person that is allegedly being held captive to ensure that they are safe and if they are unable to make contact then they should probe the individual texting to provide specifics, as mentioned above.

NEVER provide anyone with your personal information over the phone!

In all cases note the phone number where the call or text originated and report the incident to the Holbrook Police Department @ 781-767-1212.
