🚨 SCAM ALERT 🚨
The Brazos County Sheriff’s Office has received reports of scammers impersonating members of our office. Victims report receiving calls from 979-361-4900 and 979-361-4990, claiming they have an active warrant, missed jury duty, or failed to appear in court.
To make the scam appear legitimate, the callers are sending fake court documents and demanding payment to avoid arrest.
⚠️ Remember:
• The Brazos County Sheriff’s Office will NEVER call and demand payment to avoid arrest.
• We will NEVER ask you to pay with Bitcoin, cryptocurrency, gift cards, cash apps, or wire transfers.
• No legitimate law enforcement agency will direct you to a Bitcoin ATM or kiosk to make a payment.
If you receive one of these calls:
âś… Hang up immediately
âś… Do not send money
âś… Do not provide personal information
✅ Contact the Brazos County Sheriff’s Office directly to verify any claims
The fake documents can look convincing, but if someone claiming to be from law enforcement demands payment by Bitcoin, gift cards, or another electronic payment method to avoid arrest, it is a scam.
Please share this post to help protect your family, friends, and neighbors from becoming victims.
