The Mooresville Metropolitan Police Department would like to remind citizens of the below statement issued by the Morgan County Sheriff's Office earlier this month. Over the past week, Mooresville Officers have taken several reports of the same telephone scam in which the unknown callers spoofed our Police Department's telephone number which makes it appear as an incoming call from our department. The unknown callers also identified themselves as Officer and/or Deputy using the last names of some of our officers. The unknown callers also threaten to have you arrested if you do not send money to them via a money gram, pre-paid credit card, cash payment, or other monetary device. Please do not fall victim to this scam and spread the word to your parents, grandparents, neighbors, and friends.
