No, that’s NOT really the Sheriff’s office calling you.

We have had a few people show up at our office to turn themselves in because of a phone call they received.

They got a call from a deputy supposedly from the sheriff’s office telling them that they a missed court date earlier in the year and as a result, an arrest warrant had been issued for their arrest.

This scam is spreading out across the country to get your money.

Once the scammers have someone’s attention, they ask for payment over the phone using a credit card or a prepaid card to avoid arrest and to set up a meeting at the county court clerk’s office to square up everything.

Sheriff’s offices don't call people out of the blue asking that they pay a fine or settle any other charge. The same goes for the IRS, Social Security, Medicare, FTC, and the FBI – in fact, no government agency will.

Be wary of any call asking for payment over the phone that you did not initiate.
