Attention KC! A new scam is making the rounds on social media, and Leavenworth officials are working to ensure that the community has the necessary information to avoid falling victim to this latest online deception.
Leavenworth County Attorney Todd Thompson said scammers are falsely claiming that a female police officer is missing in Leavenworth.
“These posts are crafted to stir emotions and prompt quick sharing, often catching people off guard,” Thompson said. “After enough people engage with the post, scammers sometimes change the content, adding links to questionable websites, surveys or even ads to collect personal information or spread false narratives. It’s a tactic aimed at turning genuine concern into a tool for deception.” https://fox4kc.com/news/leavenworth-officials-warn-of-viral-social-media-scam-involving-fake-missing-officer/
