‼🚨 SCAM ALERT 🚨

Law enforcement will NEVER call you, tell you there's a warrant for your arrest, and then demand that you deposit cash into a Bitcoin ATM.

If you receive a call like this:
❌ Hang up immediately.
❌ Do not send money.
❌ Do not share personal or financial information.

Scammers use fear and urgency to pressure victims into acting before they have time to think. Remember: legitimate law enforcement agencies do not collect fines or resolve warrants through Bitcoin, gift cards, wire transfers, or other forms of cryptocurrency.

If you're ever unsure whether a call is legitimate, hang up and contact the agency directly using a verified phone number—not one provided by the caller.

Help protect your family and friends by sharing this post. You could save someone from becoming the next victim.

⚠️ Public Awareness Notice ⚠️

The Harris County Sheriff’s Office would like to notify the public that two credit card skimmers were recently located at Dollar General stores in Waverly Hall and Pine Mountain Valley.

At this time, it is unclear how long the skimmers were in place. We encourage anyone who may have used their card at these locations to closely monitor their bank accounts and credit card statements for any unauthorized or fraudulent charges.

If you notice suspicious activity:
• Contact your bank or credit card company immediately
• Report the unauthorized charges
• Cancel or freeze affected cards if necessary
• Continue monitoring your accounts for additional activity

Credit card skimmers are often placed on gas pumps, ATMs, and store card readers and can be difficult to detect. Always inspect card readers before use and consider using tap-to-pay options when available.

Please stay alert and help protect your financial information.

This case remains under investigation!!!
