 From someone demanding money in exchange for a lost pet, you're urged to hang up. It's a new scam announced by the Sumner Police Department in a social media post this week. According to that post, the scammers tell pet owners they have a missing pet and that payment is needed for that pet's return. They even threaten to kill the pet if the money's not paid. Sumner Police write, look, we never threaten pets or pet owners for payment. This is a scam and you're to hang up right away.
