SCAM ALERT
Sheriff Keith Korenek reports that the Sheriff's Office and LaGrange Police Department have received several reports of scams in which victims have lost a very significant sum of money.The suspects have been calling, pretending to be personnel from the Sheriff's Office stating that the victim has a warrant for their arrest, and demanding the victim send money to pay fines/fees to clear the warrant.
The suspects involved are using software to make it appear as though they are calling from an actual phone number of the Sheriff's office.
Sheriff Korenek says, our personnel will never contact you by telephone attempting to collect money or funds over the phone.
Never give money, gift cards, or crypto currency, or any other type of funds out over the phone.
