Sheriff's offices warn of scams where fake law enforcement calls demand payment for fake warrants.

Sheriff's offices in Ellis and Nez Perce counties have warned of scams involving fake law enforcement calls demanding immediate payment via gift cards, wire transfers, or cryptocurrency for fake warrants and missed jury duty. Authorities emphasize they will never request payment this way and advise verifying information directly with the office using a trusted number. Scammers may clone official phone numbers, so citizens should not give personal information over the phone and should check credit reports for unusual activity.
