Scam Alert: Fake Sheriff Calls Target Families | Charlotte News
Description
Scammers are impersonating real sheriff’s deputies, claiming to offer a “Second Chance Diversion” program to get family members out of jail for just $800 — and even promising record clearance. But here’s the truth: Burke County Sheriff’s Office doesn’t run this program, and they never ask for money over the phone — especially not via gift cards or wire transfers. These calls prey on panic and urgency, using fake authority to trick victims. If you get such a call, hang up immediately. The Sheriff’s Office will never ask for payment to release someone. Stay alert — it’s too good to be true.
