Scammers Pretending to Be Jail Officials | Madison News
Description
Scammers are impersonating Dane County Jail staff, calling family members of inmates and demanding $4,500 bail payments over the phone. The Sheriff’s Office warns this is a scam — legitimate agencies never ask for bail money via call. These fraudsters exploit public jail records and victims’ panic to steal cash. If you get such a call, don’t pay — report it immediately. Stay vigilant: official law enforcement will never request money this way.
