The City of Boerne wants to warn citizens of another scammer trend occurring in the community. According to a Facebook post, Boerne officials report receiving numerous claims of residents receiving calls from an individual claiming to be a volunteer for the City, helping out with updating “records.”

The City of Boerne does not initiate calls to update anyone’s personal information. Residents are able to update their account status by calling (830) 249-9511, option 1 during normal business hours.

This most recent scam may change its tactics slightly, but the overall goal is to pressure customers to turn over their personal information and money to scammers. The City wants everyone to be mindful of these types of situations.

Anyone wanting to report potential scammers can call the Boerne Police Department at (830) 249-8645.
