Scam Warning

The Transylvania County Sheriff's Office has been made aware of a fraudulent message circulating by email, text, and social media claiming to be from Transylvania County Schools or a school employee regarding an "Estate Sale" for a staff member who allegedly lost her husband and is selling vehicles, equipment, tools, and other items at deeply discounted prices.
This is a SCAM.
The message falsely uses the Transylvania County Schools name and logo in an attempt to appear legitimate. The purpose is to convince victims to contact the scammer and send money or deposits for items that do not exist.
Please remember:

❌ Do not send money, deposits, or personal information to anyone claiming to be associated with this sale.
❌ Do not click on links or respond to the message.
⚠️ Be cautious of deals that seem too good to be true—they usually are.
📢 If you receive this message, delete it and report it as spam. If possible, report the account or email address used to send it.

If you have already provided personal information or sent money, contact your financial institution immediately and report the incident to your local law enforcement agency.
Please help protect others by sharing this warning with friends, family, and coworkers.

SCAM AWARENESS


The Transylvania County Sheriff's Office is asking our community to remain vigilant as we continue to receive a high volume of scam reports and attempted scams.
We are receiving multiple reports from local stores that elderly customers are purchasing hundreds of dollars in Apple Gift Cards, iTunes Gift Cards, and Green Dot prepaid cards. In many cases, store employees recognize that something isn't right, but they are often unable to question the customer or stop the purchase.
Please remember:No legitimate business, government agency, law enforcement agency, utility company, bank, or technology company will ever require you to pay with gift cards or prepaid cards. If someone is demanding payment this way, it is a scam.
Scammers are becoming increasingly convincing. They often claim:• A loved one has been arrested or is in trouble.• Your computer has been hacked.• You owe taxes or missed jury duty.• Your bank account has been compromised.• Your Social Security or other government benefits are at risk.
Their goal is to create panic and convince victims to act before verifying the story.
We encourage everyone to check in with elderly family members, friends, neighbors, and loved ones. A simple conversation about these scams could prevent someone from losing thousands of dollars. Let's all look out for one another.

Please come out and give for this worthy cause.
