PALM BEACH, FL – The Palm Beach County Sheriff’s office is warning local residents that there is an impostor calling members of the community and claiming to be a deputy from the Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Office.
This impostor is accusing the recipient of the call that he or she missed jury duty and a warrant has been issued for his or her arrest. The impostor goes on to say that the warrant can be rectified by purchasing a gift card in a varying amount. After the gift card is purchased the caller asks for the number of the gift card to be read over the phone for validation.
A similar scam has taken place nationwide.
The impostor threatens to send a deputy to the residents home to affect an arrest if he or she does not comply.
