The UCLA Police Department is aware of a phone scam targeting members of the UCLA and UCLA Health community.

In these calls, the caller falsely claims to be UCLA Police Chief Craig Valenzuela, or another member of the police department, and demands money from the victim to prevent officers from responding to make an arrest. Some calls may appear to come from UCPD's phone number (310-825-1491) due to caller ID spoofing.

These calls are a scam.

The UCLA Police Department will never call and demand money to resolve a warrant, avoid an arrest, or clear criminal charges.

If you receive a suspicious call:

• Do not provide money or personal information.
• Hang up immediately.
• Report the call to UCPD Dispatch at (310) 825-1491.

Please share this information to help protect others in the UCLA community.

If you have questions or concerns, contact the UCLA Police Department at (310) 825-1491 or visit ucpd.ucla.edu.
