Episode Details

Scammers are getting dangerously slick, impersonating Lubbock County Sheriff’s deputies with real names and spoofed numbers to scare you into paying fake warrants or jail fees—total lies. They’re targeting families with bogus demands for ankle monitors or inmate programs, which are actually free. Victims have lost up to $20,000 in one month. Reports of these scams have nearly doubled. Don’t panic—hang up, don’t call back, and verify with the sheriff’s office directly. Real deputies never ask for money, gift cards, Bitcoin, or wire transfers, and they’ll never threaten immediate arrest over the phone.
