ARTICLE- QUEENS, NEW YORK- "INVALID CRIMESTOPPERS ADVERTISEMENT-- ANYBODY SHOULD IGNORE THIS AD WITH NYC CRIMESTOPPERS"

03 February 2009, 12:12 pm

by:Anthony J Trimboli- Queens, New York- It has came to the attention of Crimestoppers of New York City that one of their ads has false information on it. This small brochure was found first at a precinct house in East New York, Brooklyn called the 75th Precinct.

The advertisement was thought of describing and alerting the public that if you lose your cell phone you SHOULD assume it as being stolen and NOW ALSO can report it to crimestoppers. The information on this ad, according to NYC Crimestoppers is false. It is not a FELONY to rob a cell phone and they do not go after problems with even stolen cell phones currently.

Any person who has problems with their cell phone can still just bring it up to the company itself or to the local precinct since it has some worth to it. Crimestoppers of NYC is the Felony Division of the NYC Police Dept and still has no relation to this false advertisement explaining how to improperly report a missing or stolen cell phone and which office to report it to.

All residents of Queens County, New York City who are serviced by NYC Crimestoppers should not listen to this ad that requires that people who lost thier cell phone most likely in the subway have to report it to Crimestoppers or even to the Police. This ad spotted at the 75th Precinct is fake and should be ignored. It is not proper information in this ad.

Any people with any further question about this advertisement with the false information on it on how to report a lost or stolen cell phone may call 1-800-577-TIPS or contact the NYC Police Foundation who is associated with NYC Crimestoppers.

Again, please ignore this ad with the wrong proceedure on how to report information in New York City that may be posted in NYC Police Precincts on how to report a lost or missing cell phone. It has false information on it that is not correct and should be ignored.
