Episode Details

Scammers are exploiting fear by calling victims right after a loved one’s arrest, pretending to be court officials and demanding cash for bail or monitoring—this is a total scam. Real authorities never call asking for money. Attorney General Jeff Jackson says hang up and contact the actual agencies. Protective orders for domestic violence are free, and help is available 24/7 via hotlines and centers. If you get one of these calls, report it to police and the North Carolina Consumer Protection Division. Stay alert—don’t let panic lead you into their trap.
