Residents of Limestone County are being cautioned by the local Sheriff’s Office about a fraudulent scheme that has been making the rounds in the community. The scam involves a caller who deceitfully claims to be affiliated with the Limestone Sheriff’s Department. This individual typically informs the recipient that they either have an outstanding warrant for their arrest or that a relative is currently detained in jail.
In an attempt to extract money, the scammer requests payment through various platforms such as Venmo, CashApp, Bitcoin, or even gift cards. The Sheriff’s Office is strongly advising the public to remain vigilant and not to succumb to these deceptive tactics. If you happen to receive such a call, it is recommended that you reach out to your local law enforcement agency to confirm the authenticity of the information provided.
