Galesburg, IL (December 14, 2018) Citizens have reported receiving scam phone calls, which appear to be coming from the phone number for the Galesburg Public Safety Building, 309-343-9151. Recipients of the calls have reported the caller has requested money, in some cases indicating a family member is in trouble. These calls are spoofing the phone number for Galesburg Public Safety, and are not originating from the Galesburg Public Safety Building. Please exercise caution when receiving a call from this number. If the phone call does not seem legitimate, please hang up, and call Galesburg Public Safety back at 309-343-9151. Do not agree to send the caller money or share any personal information with the caller.
