While this scam has been going on for several years, we’ve received numerous reports about people receiving calls today, so we want to bring it to your attention again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Scammers have been calling Pierce County residents and posing as Pierce County Sheriff’s deputies. They are using names of real deputies, which they are likely finding via Google searches.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The scammers are telling people that there is a pending civil case against them and that a warrant has been issued for their arrest. They tell the residents that they need to send them money or gift cards in order to avoid arrest. If you receive a call like this, just hang up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We will never call you to collect money. Also, correspondence regarding court proceedings is generally sent through the mail or delivered in person by a process server. You won’t receive a phone call if you miss a court date.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Please share this information with your family and friends so they don’t fall victim to this scam.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
