The Caldwell County Sheriff’s Office is warning citizens about a scam. The Sheriff’s Office reports that they have received several scam complaints in recent weeks. The intended victims are receiving phone calls from people claiming to be deputies with the Sheriff’s Office.
The callers are saying that the citizen has a warrant in their name for failure to appear, or they owe money, among other threats. To keep from being arrested, the scammer tells the citizen that the recipient of the call has to go to Walgreens or another store and buy money cards. The citizen gives the scammer the number off the back of the money card. At that point the scammer has the money.
