Augusta Police Warn Of Fake Augusta PD Facebook Page

Augusta Police, like Skowhegan PD did a few weeks ago, are dealing with a fake Facebook Page.

According to the KJ and the Augusta PD Facebook Page, Augusta Police are warning people that someone has created a fake Facebook page that is posting fake stories and press releases.

Deputy Chief Jared Mills says, “The spoofed page looks almost identical to our legitimate page, but has several less postings, likes and activity.”

Posts on the fake page include stories about the killing of children by their mother and a car accident that claimed the lives of five family members.

Police are investiagting.
