POLK COUNTY SHERIFF’S OFFICE WARNS OF SCAM CALLS USING THEIR NUMBER

On June 16, 2022, the Polk County Sheriff’s Office received a reported scam from a citizen of Polk County. The scammer contacted the citizen on the phone, and the caller ID showed 218-281-0431, which is the number for the Polk County Sheriff’s Office. The scammer told the citizen they missed court, and there was a warrant out for their arrest. The scammer then demanded the citizen go to the bank, take out money, and bring it to the Polk County Sheriff’s Office.

The scammer was confronted as being a scammer and then hung up.

The Polk County Sheriff’s Office wants to remind the public that typical law enforcement agencies, including the Polk County Sheriff’s Office, do not conduct business this way. The Sheriff’s Office does not collect any money from subjects with warrants. If anyone gets a call similar to this, hang up the phone and report it to local law enforcement.

Scammers can spoof numbers to make it appear as if they are calling from another number.
