Scammers Exploit Domestic Violence Victims | Denver News

Domestic violence victims in Jefferson County are being hit with terrifying scams right after their abuser’s arrest—scammers posing as jail or court officials demand cash via Venmo, Cash App, or gift cards, exploiting victims’ desperation to bail out their partner. These predators stitch together public records and social media to target the vulnerable, preying on financial control and emotional turmoil. Authorities warn: no legitimate agency will ever ask for money this way. If you get such a call, hang up and contact verified authorities or victim support services immediately. If you’ve already been scammed, report it—organizations like PorchLight Family Justice Center offer critical help and resources to survivors navigating these crises.
