BRYAN COUNTY, Ga. (WSAV) – A warrant scam in Bryan County that started earlier this year has now escalated.
According to the Bryan County Sheriff’s Office (BCSO), the scammer told people on the phone that they had a warrant and asked for money to “go away” or “take care of him.” Now the caller is asking women to meet a man.
“The individual identifies himself as Officer or Lt. Black with the Bryan County Sheriff’s Office. He is calling from a fake/fake number 912-737-3238 and has a voicemail set up that says they are from the Bryan County Sheriff’s Office,” BCSO said.
Anyone who has been called and told they have a warrant is advised not to give out any information.
“Never give them ANY form of payment and DO NOT date anyone!” BCSO advised. “The Bryan County Sheriff’s Office does not contact individuals for payment, and we do not release any warrant information over the phone.”
BCSO said they are working in cooperation with the Richmond Hill Police Department on the investigation.
