The Liberty County Sheriff’s office is warning folks about an increase in scam calls throughout their area and in its surrounding counties.
Kimberly Franklin said she received several phone calls and a voicemail from scammers on Wednesday morning.
Franklin said the scammer identified himself as a deputy from the sheriff’s office and named a local judge who he said issued a warrant for her arrest. “I told him, ‘No, I’m doing that,’ and that I needed to talk to someone and verify at the sheriff’s department and so he said, ‘OK, I’ll have someone call you right now.’ I hung up and the phone rang instantly, and it came across as Liberty County Sheriff’s Department,” Franklin said.
“The phone number they’re calling from is in fact our phone number but the secondary number that their asking you to call to speak to a particular deputy or officer is a number that goes back to them,” DeFoor said.“The general public should be aware that the Liberty County Sheriff’s Office as well as Harris County S.O, Hardin County S.O, Jefferson County S.O, and Chambers County S.O.
