The Umatilla County Sheriff’s Office is warning the public about a warrant scam circulating in the county.
According to UCSO, the scammer calls a potential victim, claims to be from the sheriff’s office’s warrant department (often giving a real officer’s name), and demands payment of money to resolve the issue (in one call they wanted payment by Venmo).
“Please be aware, these calls are ALWAYS A SCAM,” UCSO wrote on its Facebook page. “Law enforcement and those in the vriminal justice system never call people to request payment to resolve a warrant issue or pay a fine. If you receive one of these calls, you can be assured it is a scam. If you are still worried, then report in person to the actual courts to inquire, or to the nearest law enforcement agency. Never give out payment over the phone to someone who has called you about resolving a warrant issue.”
