The caller will identify you by name and say you have a warrant on file or you have missed jury duty.
The caller will say you will be arrested unless you pay a fine and instruct you to put money on a prepaid credit card or Green Dot card.Once you purchase the card, you are given a phone number to call back so you can give them the account number off the card.
NO ONE from the Sheriff’s Office will ever call you and ask for money over the phone. Do not fall victim to this scam.
