Some Info on the latest scam being reported to us today. A Lewis County citizen provided these images and this info. As you can see the scammers are making good attempts at trying to make these documents look official. The scammers are also providing a QR code that they are requesting potential victims to use to send money. We wanted to share to make everyone aware of these types of ongoing scams. Do not send gift cards, do not wire money, & when the scammers threaten you with a criminal arrest warrant against you just remember, law enforcement agencies and/or courts do not call you and tell you that there is a warrant for your arrest unless you send the money. One final note, after this person hung up on the scammer, a second scam caller called this person saying they have their address and threatened violence to them unless they sent money and the scammer demanded an amount that was less than the amount shown in the original document. As usual, these numbers shows up on your caller i.d. as private or unknown but sometimes the scammers can spoof another phone number or maybe even the sheriff's office phone number and make it appear as if the call is coming from a legitimate number. Please do not become a victim of these scammers.
