Scammers Targeting Placer County Families | Sacramento News

Scammers are targeting Placer County families by posing as sheriff’s deputies, promising to get loved ones out of jail or into rehab—just ask for money via Zelle, Venmo, or gift cards. They’ll even call back after the first payment to demand more. This isn’t new—similar scams hit Sacramento before. The Sheriff’s Office warns: they’ll NEVER ask for money directly. If you get such a call, don’t send cash or share info—report it to 530-886-5375. Stay alert and protect your wallet.
