Scam Alert from Miami County, over the weekend the Miami County Sheriff’s Office received multiple reports that someone was calling, stating that they were a Detective from the Miami County Sheriff's Office and that they have a warrant for the persons arrest. The caller states that the bond is $5000 but will try to talk the person into paying whatever they can afford immediately on the phone.
Government Agencies, including the Miami County Sheriff's
Office, will not call to take care of a warrant over the phone. If you ever are
concerned that a phone call may be a scam, just hang up and call that office,
business or individual back with the correct number to confirm the information.
Just a reminder that any Sheriff’s Office will not follow this procedure over
the phone.
