The Burbank Police Department and other law enforcement agencies throughout the region have received reports of persons impersonating police officers, court officials, and other government entities, for the purpose of fraud. These scams often target elderly residents by telephone, and involve the perpetrator claiming that the subject owes back taxes, fines, or has outstanding arrest warrants, which can be resolved by mailing/wiring funds.
