Police Department is warning residents about an impersonation attempt of Chief Jon Schuldt. Scammers are trying to get personal information and money from potential victims.
The victim initially questioned the call, but an hour later would receive a caller ID that showed "Renton Police Department," telling the victim that the earlier call from "David Freeman" was legit and that she should follow their instructions and transfer the money. Unfortunately, the victim would eventually transfer money into a California bank account.
Freeman would go on to transfer the victim over to an imposter claiming to be "Chief Schuldt" from the Renton Police Department who would tell the victim to follow the orders of Freeman for protection.
