🚨 **Important Public Safety Alert** 🚨

On Wednesday, August 21, 2024, at approximately 10:17 AM, Norco deputies responded to a distressing call at the Wells Fargo bank located at 140 Hidden Valley, Norco. A concerned mother was on the phone with an individual who claimed to have kidnapped her daughter and was threatening her life unless the mother emptied her bank account.

The mother, fearing for her daughter’s safety, heard a muffled female voice in the background pleading for help. Believing it was her daughter, she stayed on the phone with the alleged kidnapper and was unable to verify her daughter’s whereabouts. While inside the bank, she discreetly passed a note to the teller, asking for help.

Thanks to quick action by our deputies and the cooperation of Wells Fargo staff, we were able to locate the daughter at a different location in the city of Corona. Corona PD responded immediately and confirmed that the daughter was safe and not in any distress.

After further investigation, it appears that this incident was a hoax or scam, exploiting personal information to create fear and demand money. Corona PD has reported several similar calls over the past few months.

⚠️ **Please stay vigilant and be aware of these types of scams targeting our community.** If you receive a call like this, try to stay calm, verify your loved ones’ safety, and contact law enforcement immediately.

Our deputies are committed to your safety, and we will continue to work diligently to protect our community from these dangerous scams.

That text about overdue toll charges is probably a scam

When you go through a toll, you know you’ll need to pay a fee to use that road or bridge. But scammers are targeting drivers with text messages pretending to be from the tolling agency collecting “overdue toll charges.” Here’s what to know about this text scam.

The scammy text tells you to click a link to pay “overdue toll charges” to avoid late fees. But it’s probably not the tolling agency contacting you. It’s probably a scammer. Clicking the link can lead to a phishing attack, where the scammer tries to take your personal information (like your driver’s license number) — and even steal your identity. And if you pay, not only are you out the money, but the scammer gets your credit card number, too.

To spot and avoid text scams about a fake toll:

Slow down. Don’t rush to click on links or respond to the text. Scammers want you to react quickly when they send you an unexpected text message, but it’s best to stop and check it out.

Check with the tolling agency. If you’re worried the text is legit, check with the state’s tolling agency. But use a phone number or website you know is real — not the info from the text.

Report unwanted text messages. Use your phone’s “report junk” option to report these unwanted texts to your messaging app or forward them to 7726 (SPAM).

Don’t engage. Delete the message. Unwanted messages often lead to scams. Once you’ve checked it out and reported it, delete the text message. And don’t engage.

Share this information with people you know so they also can be prepared to spot and avoid the scam. And if you spot a text scam, the FTC wants to hear about it. Go to ReportFraud.ftc.gov and tell us your story.
