🚨 SCAM ALERT 🚨

The Palm Beach County Sheriff's Office is warning residents about fake emails claiming to be from PBSO captains. These fraudulent messages demand participation in a "Zoom Court Official Proceeding" for a "Federal Court Virtual Disposition" - but they're NOT real!

⚠️ RED FLAGS: • Claims you must join a court-monitored Zoom session • Threatens detention if you don't participate • NOT from PBSO or any legitimate federal court
