shelby-county-sheriff-s-dept-says-fake-deputies-are-scamming
The Shelby County Sheriff's Department continues to receive complaints regarding calls from fake deputies requesting money be paid to avoid going to jail.
Most recently, a complainant stated they received a call from someone who claimed to be an officer who stated the person had a warrant and that they needed to go to Walmart and transfer $2000 to pay their bond in order to stay out of jail.
The Sheriff's Department says, to be clear, if you have a warrant, they will let you know. However it's not likely to be with a phone call.
