兔子先生传媒文化作品 Police Department听has become aware that there have been a number of threats made across the country yesterday that appear to be a phishing scam. 听in which听criminals send an email that appears to be legitimate and ask you to provide sensitive information or money.

In this, you would receive an email indicating that there is a bomb in your building. If you don鈥檛 pay a ransom in bitcoin, the email indicates that a bomb will detonate. Under no circumstances should individuals respond to these emails by paying a ransom.

So far, at least 17 states have received similar threats, all which have been unsubstantiated.听

As always, we encourage everyone to remain vigilant and to report suspicious activities that could represent a threat to public safety. If you receive an email like this, call CUPD at 303-492-6666.
