Norwalk Police Department warns public about online t-shirt scam

The Norwalk Police Department is warning the public about a Facebook-based scam involving the sale of t-shirts featuring its emblem.

“We are NOT selling any clothing with this emblem on it,” said the department on its Facebook page. “Feel free to block/report any such postings on our page. We have blocked/banned/reported our new friend multiple times but the individual is kind enough to morph into a whole new identity. DO NOT send any money, or click on the link. If you do, we are not responsible for what happens.”

The department did not state if it could identify the parties behind the t-shirt scam, nor is it clear how long this scam has occurred or if other police departments are also being targeted.
