In Wharton County, a new wave of scammers is targeting residents, pretending to represent the sheriff’s office. They claim there’s a warrant for the recipient’s arrest due to missed jury duty. The scammers even fake being deputies and know victims’ personal details. They often ask for gift cards or money transfers. While one victim fell prey to this, many ignored the calls. It’s important to note that law enforcement doesn’t ask for money over the phone for fines or warrants. Scams like these are on the rise, with imposter scams costing consumers billions in recent years.
