🚨 SCAM ALERT PLEASE SHARE! 🚨

The Amelia County Sheriff’s Office has been made aware of a phone scam targeting citizens in our community.

Scammers are calling and pretending to be with the Sheriff’s Office, telling citizens they have missed jury duty and now owe a fine or fee. They may threaten that a warrant will be issued for your arrest if you do not pay immediately.
⚠️ THIS IS A SCAM‼️

The Amelia County Sheriff’s Office will NEVER call you and demand money over the phone to avoid arrest or a warrant.
If you receive one of these calls:
● Do not provide personal or financial information.
● Do not send money, gift cards, cryptocurrency, or any other form of payment.
● Hang up and contact the Sheriff’s Office directly if you are unsure whether a call is legitimate.

These scammers can be very convincing and may even make the caller ID appear legitimate.
Please share this post, and make sure your family members especially elderly relatives and neighbors are aware of this scam.

When in doubt, hang up and call us directly.

We extend our sincere gratitude to all of the vendors, churches, businesses, organizations, volunteers, and community partners whose generosity made this event possible. Thanks to their donations and support, more than 350 bags of school supplies were distributed to local students and families, helping them prepare for a successful school year. We would like to also thank Archers BBQ, Toms Meats, Amelia Kitchen, WAWA, Red Carpet Restroom Rentals, Trainham Disposal,Amelia Food Lion,DJ Baddog, Spainville Store and Garage, and Woodman Life who helped us make this event happen.

Most importantly, thank you to the citizens of Amelia County who came out and made the event such a memorable evening. Your support and participation are what make National Night Out such a special tradition each year.

We are proud of what our community accomplished together and are already looking forward to making next year’s National Night Out even bigger and better.
