Taylorville Police Warning of Cell Phone Scam

Taylorville Police are warning residents and businesses about a suspected scam tied to cell phone shipments through Roadie, a third-party delivery platform. The department says a recent local investigation led officers to Florida, and the case has now become part of an active multi-state investigation involving multiple agencies. Police stress the warning is focused on a specific Roadie user account operating under the name “Bikes by Issac,” not Roadie as a company. Authorities urge anyone shipping valuable merchandise to verify delivery details, confirm who is handling the items, and report suspicious activity to police.
