The Snohomish County Sheriff’s Office has issued an alert
warning of scammers calling county citizens asking for money for the Sheriff’s
Office.
According to a Sheriff’s Office tweet tonight:
"The Fundraising Center” is soliciting funds to support
the Snohomish County Sheriff's Office. We do not have a non-profit organization
and our agency will never solicit funds to "help keep the agency
afloat" (as one scammer said).
Also, there is a warrant scam going around in the name of
the Sheriff’s office. According to a posting on Facebook:
“A "Capt. Miller" is calling to bully victims into
paying to have a warrant "lifted" for missing jury duty. While we do
have a Capt. Miller in our employ, neither he nor any other bona fide law
enforcement or court personnel will call you to demand money over the phone.
Ever. You can check to see if you have outstanding warrants online.”
If you receive a call from someone asking for money or
demanding money for the Sheriff’s Office, hang up.
