Warrant Scam Resurfaces In Titus County

An old scam has resurfaced in Titus County, where some citizens are receiving phone calls purportedly from the Sheriff’s Office telling the person receiving the call that there are warrants out for their arrest.  In recent incidents, callers have passed themselves off as a specific deputy for the Sheriff’s Office, after which the caller attempts to coerce the victim into making a payment by some means. The Titus County Sheriff’s Office doesn’t solicit anyone by phone to remit payment instead of being arrested on an outstanding warrant.
