The DeKalb County Sheriff’s Office has issued a Scam Alert.
According to Sheriff Nick Welden – his office has recently received numerous reports of someone calling area doctor’s offices and claiming they have warrants through the sheriff’s office for someone there. They then say the matter can be settled by sending money, either by giving them bank account or credit card information OR purchasing a “Green Dot” card and giving them the number.
Sheriff Welden stresses that neither the DeKalb County Sheriff’s Office, nor any other law enforcement agency will EVER contact you asking for money to take care of ANY warrant.
Be aware that this is a SCAM.
