Orange County Sheriff Warns About Phone Scams | Charlottesville News

Orange County Sheriff’s Office issues urgent second alert this month warning residents about a dangerous phone scam where fraudsters impersonate real deputies, falsely claiming victims missed court or jury duty and demand immediate cash payments to avoid arrest — but the Sheriff’s Office will NEVER call demanding fines or threatening arrest over the phone. If you receive such a call, don’t share personal info, send money, or answer questions. Report suspected scams immediately by calling 540-672-1200. Stay vigilant — these scams are getting smarter, but knowledge is your best defense. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
