The Lake County Sheriff’s Department has advised that they are still getting multiple reports of scammers contacting people from phone numbers that appear to come from them on caller ID. The criminals are even using the names of real police officers.
If you receive a call, text, or email from someone demanding that you pay fees for missing a court appearance, a warrant for your arrest, a summons, etc. DO NOT PAY—THIS IS A SCAM. Hang up immediately. Stay alert and protect your information.
