Every day the Sheriff's Office is taking a new report of an attempted fraud, or a successful fraud where homeowners have given money to a scam artist. Some of the most popular today are the "IRS" scam where the caller will advise you that you owe the IRS money and must make a payment to stay out of jail. Another is the "Jury Duty" scam where you missed jury duty and must pay a fine to stay out of jail. Another popular phone scam is the "Granddaughter-Grandson" scam where the caller will make you think your Grandchild is incarcerated in another state, and needs bond money to get out. Please hang up on these individuals. The longer you stay on the phone with them the more convincing they become. If you are uncertain of the content of a phone call, then ask for help from your loved ones or law enforcement. We are on duty 24/7/365 and do not mind coming out to assist you. We want you to enjoy your life savings. Don't be giving it to a fraud.
