Home Credit Card Scams Erie County Sheriff’s Office officials advise residents of phone scammers stating warrant issued for skipping jury duty
SANDUSKY, Ohio (WOIO) – Officials with the Erie County Sheriff’s Office are asking residents to not respond to or offer information to an ongoing phone scam.
According to the Sheriff’s Office official Facebook page:
Scammers will often contact individuals and identify themselves as police officers or members of the Internal Revenue Service or government-related organization, then recommend the individual submit a credit card or gift card payment over the phone to cancel an outstanding warrant or tax-related situation.
Scammers may also say they’d sent a “certified letter” in the mail to an individual with “important details” months or weeks prior to their call.
