MCSO - Florida Keys

The Sheriff’s Office has received multiple reports recently of a phone/text scams involving thieves pretending to be Sheriff’s Office/law enforcement/jail officials asking for money, often via Bitcoin or some other cryptocurrency.

Criminals are falsely identifying themselves as real law enforcement officers and making false claims to potential victims about missing jury duty or some other lie about a fake (or even real) criminal case to extort money.

Often these scams involve the use of fake court documents/notifications regarding a false traffic/criminal infraction. Some of the scams targets those already facing criminal charges.

If someone contacts you asking for money, purporting to be from a law enforcement agency, any government organization or utility company, a bank, a credit card company, and so forth — hang up and contact the organization yourself.

A sure sign of a scam is anyone asking for payment for anything via gift cards or Bitcoin.

If you receive a distressing message from a family member/friend needing money immediately, always contact that family member/friend before sending money. If possible, save the text, email, or any other information and contact the Sheriff’s Office directly via www.keysso.net/locations
