Washington County Sheriff’s Office is warning people of a scam involving a phone call. Scammers are attempting to defraud Washington County residents by calling them and stating they are a deputy with the Washington County Sheriff’s Office. The scammers are giving citizens the option to pay their bond over the phone or a warrant will be issued for their arrest.

“It appears this scam is circulating around the county,” says Sheriff Crews. “Before they can defraud any of our residents, we want to get the word out.”
