Ep. 4 SJSO Unlocked: Protecting You from Scammers

"If it's too good to be true, it probably is." On Episode 4 of SJSO Unlocked, Economic Crimes Unit Detectives Bobby Fultz and David Elliott join Public Information Officer Taylor Levesque for a discussion about scams. Detectives Fultz and Elliott say scams are becoming more popular, and with the access of technology, more creative. In this episode, we talk about economic scams, inmate scams, bail bond scams, job scams, real estate scams, investment scams, computer pop up scams, and the latest trends to look out for. The St. Johns County Sheriff's Office will never call and ask you for money, never ask you to provide personal identifying information over the phone, or reach out to you about an inmate. If you have doubts about who you are speaking to, call the SJSO non-emergency line (904) 824-8304 and verify before giving away personal information. If you believe you or someone you know is a victim of a scam, please call SJSO. We hope you enjoy this episode of SJSO Unlocked, available on Spotify, Pandora, Apple Podcasts, Amazon Music, iHeartRadio, and YouTube.
