The Threat is Real.
Impersonation crimes are on the rise. Criminals are using fake uniforms and badges to gain trust. VerifiedKnock stops them at the door.
Urgent Warning
Police departments will NEVER ask for cash or gift cards at your door.
How to Spot a Fake Officer
- 1
Aggressive Demands: Real officers are trained to be professional. Scammers use fear and urgency.
- 2
Refusal to Verify: If they won't let you call dispatch or show a verifiable ID, do not open the door.
- 3
Unmarked Vehicles: While plainclothes officers exist, they will always have a badge and ID. Be extra cautious if no patrol car is visible.
Residents report two men in tactical gear claiming to have a warrant. Police confirm no such officers were dispatched.
Scammers posing as water department employees are gaining entry to homes to steal valuables while 'checking pipes'.
A man claiming to serve court papers is demanding immediate cash payment to 'avoid arrest'.
Don't Be a Victim. Get Verified.
VerifiedKnock provides the only cryptographic proof that the person at your door is who they say they are.
