CHARLESTON, S.C. (WCSC) - The Berkeley County Sheriffâs Office says they have seen a recent rise in telephone scams that involve people claiming to be deputies and officials.
The scam in question is targeting Berkeley County residents with a call from someone claiming to be Chief Deputy Baker with the BCSO, deputies say. The scammer is telling residents a warrant will be issued for their arrest due to them missing a federal court date.
