KCSO said scammers will call people pretending to be law enforcement and ask to collect payments.
In addition, the caller says there is an active warrant for the recipient’s arrest for a minor infraction, bench warrant, Failure to Appear, Missing Jury Duty, or Sex Offender Violation.
If a potential victim informs them that they have moved out of the county, the caller will offer to meet at the sheriff’s office to resolve the issue. The people responsible will provide an online payment method, like Venmo, Zelle, or Paypal. Once the transaction has been completed, they will change the online ID and show no transactions to that account.
