WASHINGTON COUNTY, FL: Washington County Sheriff’s Office is warning people in the Washington County area of a scam involving a phone call.
Scammers are attempting to defraud Washington County residents by calling them and stating they are a WCSO deputy claiming, “you have warrants out for your arrest and can satisfy the warrant by paying $3000." We will not contact you by phone pertaining to that information.
THIS IS A SCAM!
DO NOT PAY THEM ANY MONEY and HANG UP THE PHONE IMMEDIATELY!
“It appears this scam is circulating around the county,” says Sheriff Crews. “Before they can defraud any of our residents, we want to get the word out.”
Please help us share this information.
If you have any knowledge of crimes being committed, or tips, please contact the Washington County Sheriff’s Office at 850-638-6111.
