The Sheriff's Office has received intelligence of another scam.  In these new cases the suspects are claiming to be an employee of the Sheriff's Office.  They give a "badge" number and threaten the individual they are speaking with if they don't follow directions to clear up a warrant, they will be arrested.  In some of these cases, they are using the name of an actual employee of the Sheriff's Office.  They are taking a significant amount of time trying to coax individuals into going to a grocery store to obtain green dot cards to clear up a warrant.

The Sheriff's Office would like to remind citizens that our Office NEVER calls and informs individuals they have an active warrant and NEVER asks individuals to make payments to clear up a warrant.  We will also NEVER call to ask for money, for any reason.

If you have information about or fallen victim to this or any other scam, please contact 719-390-5555, and ask to have a deputy to come out and take a report.
