Over the past couple of days the Citrus County Sheriff s Office has had numer-

ous reports of a scam involving a caller who claims to be a Detective with either the Citrus

County Jail or the Citrus County Sheriff s Office. The caller is informing potential victims

that a loved one has either been arrested or has an outstanding warrant, and to avoid crimi-

nal prosecution of their loved one they must send the caller money for a "bond". The caller

usually requests the potential victim to obtain a prepaid credit card or send money via Pay-

Pal. In some cases the caller "spoofs" or fakes his caller ID number to reflect actual phone

numbers which are affiliated with the Citrus County Sheriff Office.

This is a scam. NEVER send money over the phone to someone you don't know

personally and keep in mind the following facts:

The Citrus County Sheriff Office will NEVER call a person directly to tell someone

about a loved one's bond and then request immediate payment.

ALWAYS double check any information that is being given to you from a questionable

caller by asking who you are speaking with and obtaining their Agency ID#.

Call the Citrus County Sheriff s Office non emergency number (352) 726 1121 and

confirm if that person is an actual employee and ask to speak with them directly to confirm
