❗️SCAM ALERT❗️

⚠️ SCAM ALERT ⚠️

The Richland County Sheriff’s Office would like to make the public aware of a scam that has been circulating in our area.

Scammers are targeting family members of individuals who have recently been arrested. The caller tells the victim that money must be sent — sometimes as much as $1,175 — in order for their family member to be released from jail on an ankle monitor or placed on pre-trial release.

Victims are also being told they will receive the money back, minus a $75 fee.

These calls are commonly coming from a “No Caller ID” number.

If you receive a call similar to this:
❌ Do NOT send money
❌ Do NOT provide personal information
❌ Hang up immediately

If you believe you have been targeted by this scam, please contact the Richland County Sheriff’s Office.

Please share this post to help spread awareness and protect others in our community
