SCAM-NET is a service maintained by the Dallas Police Department, in cooperation with the Dallas Area Council of Governments (DACOG), that alerts Law Enforcement Agencies in the Metroplex of current and on-going frauds, scams and con-games, particularly those targeted at senior citizens.  Anyone knowing of current scams can e-mail details to SCAM-NET at DPD, and detectives will immediately post verifiable scams on this web page.  Law enforcement agencies are especially encouraged to use this opportunity to exchange information almost instantly.

Post a fraud, scam or con game on SCAM-NET.  You may e-mail the information to SCAM-NET at the link below.  Although law enforcement agencies in the DACOG area are the primary sources of information posted on SCAM-NET, anyone who has information on scams or frauds may send that information to SCAM-NET by mail, phone, fax or e-mail.
For a scam to be accepted for posting it must include the following information:

· Details of the crime, including full descriptions of the scam, the persons who are doing the scam, and the targeted victim(s).

· Details of locations, times, dates.

· Any other unique or unusual characteristics.

· Very Important:  All information submitted to SCAM-NET must include submitter's name and a way to contact the submitter (telephone number) to verify the scam information.
