Description

One of my family members was incarcerated and my dad received multiple phone calls from a Sergeant who claimed he had talked to our family men and told him he was able to get him into a local harbor house but would need a deposit to do it. I got the # from my dad and reached out to them, he dropped the price and stated if we wanted to do it then to get the money because beds were limited. My family member was incarcerated on a holiday so I was very suspicious and inquisitive about, how he could have seen a judge. I told him I would see if we could get the money and hung up the fake officer then text my # stating that he was able to lower the cost from 1000$ to 550 and said he would need it in the next hour or he couldn’t help. We immediately stopped contact with this imposter and confirmed that it was a scam when our loved one called and never seen a judge!! I believe this is a result of publicizing information on a free app that gives updates on recently incarcerated people with their personal information that anyone can access and use to target families of the incarcerated persons. #SCCSO - free on Apple and android
