SCAM ALERT! Cell phone scammers are using the names of actual York County Sheriff's Office deputies and supervisors when calling to trick York County residents into giving them money. They will even use phone numbers with a 717 prefix.

According to the York County, PA Sheriff's Office, "They are telling you that you have missed jury duty, you have a warrant out for your arrest, your spouse or child has been arrested and needs bailed out, you have to pay costs because you didn't show up for court. IT IS A SCAM."

"Please, do not fall for any of it. If you would like to call in to the York County Sheriff's Office for your own peace of mind, please call 717-771-9741. Our duty Sgt. will confirm to you IT IS A SCAM!"

Please share this post with everyone you know, so no one becomes a victim of this.
