Scammers Pretending to Be Sheriff's Office | Charlottesville News

Scammers are targeting families of incarcerated loved ones with fake calls from the Orange County Sheriff’s Office, demanding cash to secure release or cover fees — but the sheriff’s office NEVER asks for money over the phone. If you get such a call, hang up and verify directly with the official number: 800-601-1000. Don’t send money or share personal info — this is a classic scam preying on desperation and using authority to look legit. Stay alert and protect your family.
