SCAM ALERT!! PLEASE SHARE WITH YOUR FRIENDS AND FAMILY

If you receive a text through your phone similar to the one pictured, please disregard. This is the latest in a long string of scams.

Other Typical Scams:
Scammers may call and say they are from the Sheriff’s Office, may even use a deputy's name, informs the victim that they owe the GCSO money for some reason, such as a warrant, unpaid ticket, not showing up for court, or for not showing up for jury duty.

They will tell you to get gift cards and/or money to send over the phone in order to avoid arrest. Please know that while we may contact you to serve you various documents, we will NEVER request money or gift cards. Any payments related to law enforcement or the jail are processed through the courts, never our office!
These calls can look and feel very convincing. It is easy to clone the GCSO phone numbers and deputy names are publicly available, so the call may look and sound like it comes from the Sheriff’s Office.

If you receive a call like this, hang up immediately. Scammers will be insistent that you stay on the line, which prevents you from thinking through their demands or calling someone else.

If you have any questions or concerns about a call that appears to come from us (or any other scam), call 582-2100 and leave a message; we will return your call promptly.
