Corpus Christi Police Department wants to warn our citizens of a phone scam. CCPD regularly receives reports from people who allege that they have received calls from scammers impersonating Officers or Federal Agents. Although this scam isn’t new, CCPD is wanting to warn again about this phone scam.
Impersonators make threats of arrest, deportation and license revocation if they do not receive immediate payment. The scammers then instruct the citizen to put money on a prepaid debit card or send payment via wire transfer or credit card.
CCPD offers this advice to avoid getting scammed:
* Look out for “spoofing”. Part of scammers tactics include spoofing, which happens when the caller masks their own number and causes the number of a well-known Agency, like CCPD, to appear on caller ID. Also, the caller might give a badge number and know the last four digits of your Social Security number.
* Write down details. If you do get a call and are unsure, write down the phone number and name of the caller.
* Protect your personal information. Do not provide any personal or financial information over the phone.
* Know your rights. Corpus Christi Police Department will never request for prepaid debit cards or wire transfer payments, and will not ask for a credit card number over the phone.
* Don’t be bullied. Never trust callers who use threats and hostility to push you into doing what they want. Be skeptical of what a caller claims he or she can do if you refuse to meet their demand.
* Hang up and report it. If you’re unsure if the call is real, contact CCPD directly at 361-886-2600. You can also file a complaint with your local BBB.
The Corpus Christi Police Department will never demand payment from you, ask you for any private or financial information over the phone or threaten to bring the police or other federal law-enforcement groups to have you arrested for not paying.
Do not fall victim to these scams!

Case Number: 1905240101
At approximately 3:15 PM on May 24, 2019 Corpus Christi Police Officers were dispatched to a convenience store located on the 1300 block of 3rd Street in reference to a male suspect filming or taking pictures under a bathroom stall.
Upon arrival, Officers were advised by a Father that his 10-year-old Daughter had been improperly photographed or videoed while in the restroom. The father advised that they were out running errands when his 10-year-old Daughter had to use the restroom. The Father advised that he stopped at the convenience store and parked outside of the store, keeping the 10-year-old within view as she was to run in and out of the restroom. When the 10-year-old ran out of the store in a hurry, the Father asked if everything went ok, at which point the 10-year-old told her Father that “it was creepy”. When questioned about her statement, the 10-year-old advised that as she was using the restroom a man’s hand reached under her stall, holding a gold in color iPhone. The 10-year-old advised that she immediately tried to cover herself from the view of the camera and quickly exited the bathroom.
Upon review of the camera footage, the suspect enters the women’s restroom with a phone in hand and spends approximately 12 minutes in the women’s restroom and may have recorded other women improperly. The suspect is described as a White or Hispanic male, approximately 35-45 years of age, 5’06-5’08, 155-165 pounds, dark hair, wearing a gray and white color ball cap with what appears to be a purple emblem, black or dark colored Oakley style sunglasses, blue or purple and white stripe polo shirt, khaki golf shorts and black tennis shoes.
The Investigators were able to obtain a copy of surveillance images which shows the suspect walking in and out of the women’s bathroom.
If you can identify this suspect, or have any additional information about this crime, call Crime Stoppers at 888-TIPS or submit the information online at 888TIPS.com.
