The Malvern Borough Police Department is aware of someone posing as an officer from our department advising you have an open case with us and they then request money for “warrant and subpoena” fees. The phone number they are calling from is a “spoof” number and shows our actual number, but it is not really coming from here. No police department would ever ask you for money over the phone, nor would they issue you a warrant over the phone either. DO NOT ever give out personal or banking information to any caller unless you have verified their identity first. Some callers can seem extremely legitimate, but no law enforcement agency will ever request payment over the phone. If you have any questions or concerns, please call us at 610-647-0261 or the Radio Room Non-Emergency number, 610-647-1440 for an officer to call you back.
