Sheriff’s Office Warns Of Telephone Warrant Call Scam
July 29, 2017
The Santa Rosa County Sheriff’s Office is warning of a telephone scam.
The Santa Rosa County Sheriff’s Office has received reports of a telephone scam involving the agency. During the call, an individual is representing himself as a deputy. The caller then tells the person there is an active warrant for their arrest. The caller will then demand for money in lieu of arrest.
This is a scam, the SRSO said.
The Santa Rosa County Sheriff’s Office will not call anyone to tell about an arrest warrant, and the agency does no ask for monetary payments.
Anyone receiving such call is asked to disconnect immediately and contact theSanta Rosa County Sheriff’s Office at (850) 983-1190.
