Comal County Sheriff’s Office (CCSO) today warned residents not to believe callers who pose as CCSO or other government employees and attempt to obtain payments for various reasons.
Scammers may even have personal identifying information or leave messages describing the reason for their call as an “urgent legal matter.”
CCSO does not take payments for warrants over the phone, the Sheriff’s Office said on social media.
Callers may claim a citation was issued to an individual for allegedly failing to appear before a grand jury.
“It is always best to verify any call claiming you have legal proceedings, fines, or owe any money by locating the agency’s number online and calling them directly yourself,” CCSO said.
To reach the Sheriff’s Office 24/7, call 830-620-3400.
