Through a citizen complaint, received on the Contact Line with the Office of your Secretary, it was reported that, from the telephone line 496 125 31 08, a subject makes calls indicating that he is a State Police of Zacatecas who communicates to provide support, since an alleged family member had an incident or they have him detained.

Therefore, he seeks communication so that a bank deposit is made in order to help the false relative of the probable victim.

In this sense, in compliance with one of the decrees of the Comprehensive Public Security Strategy for Zacatecas (ESPIZ). And with the commitment to implement actions to prevent these crimes, the number is presented and its dissemination is requested so that Zacatecans don’t fall into deception and are not victims of extortion.

Likewise, it is reiterated that the Ministry of Public Security doesn’t make calls and much less request money in exchange for protection, on the contrary, it urges citizens to, in case of receiving this type of call, they hang up and report immediately so that corporations can act and avoid falling into these deceptions.

With actions like this, the Secretariat of Public Security endorses the commitment to Zacatecan citizens to confront those who violate the law and damage public order; in addition, it calls for reporting crimes that hurt society through the 911 emergency number and the Contact Line with your Secretary’s Office at 492 219 71 59.
