The Kaua‘i Police Department (KPD) is alerting the public to an ongoing phone scam involving cryptocurrency. Authorities say the scam is active and residents should stay vigilant, avoiding sharing personal information or making quick decisions over the phone. This warning follows reported incidents targeting the public with cryptocurrency-related claims.
Officials urge people to verify caller identities, resist pressure to disclose sensitive data, and refrain from transferring funds based on cryptocurrency prompts. Do not act on urgent requests and always contact official numbers through trusted sources to confirm legitimacy.
Avoid taking any action until you can verify the caller’s identity. For updates, follow official KPD alerts and reputable local outlets, and report suspicious calls to the police to help prevent further victims.
