Spring Valley PD Warns About Geek Squad Imposter Scam

SPRING VALLEY, NY — The Spring Valley Police Department warned on Wednesday that they received complaints about a scam involving fake Geek Squad messages to the tech service's customers.

Police said victims have received emails saying that they owe money for a service plan and that there is a past due balance on their account.

The victims are then asked to provide their bank account information or pre-paid gift cards only to find out a day later that a large sum of money was removed from their account without permission.

Police urge residents to always contact their local police department before giving out bank account numbers or transferring money, when receiving any suspicious emails like these.

Anyone with information about this scam is asked to contact Detective Fantasia at 845-721-9562.
