Important Phone Scam Alert - Protect Yourself from Fraudulent Calls


The Barrington Police Department received multiple reports about scam calls where individuals falsely claimed to be from the Barrington Police Department. These scammers attempt to deceive people into providing personal information or making payments.


Remember these important safety tips:


  • Verify the Caller: If someone claims to be from the police department, hang up and call the Barrington Police Department directly at 847-304-3300 to verify the call.


  • Never Share Personal Information: Do not provide sensitive information including Social Security numbers, bank account information, or passwords over the phone.


  • No Payments Over the Phone: The Barrington Police Department will never request payments or personal financial information by phone.


  • Report Suspicious Calls: If you receive a suspicious call, notify the Barrington Police Department immediately at (847) 304-3300.


The Lake County Sheriff's Office is experiencing similar scam calls as well. If you reside in North Barrington, Lake Barrington, Port Barrington, or unincorporated Cuba Township, and a Caller claims to be a Lake County Sheriff's Deputy, hang up and call the Lake County Sheriff's Office at 847-549-5200.
