Scam alert from King County Sheriff's Office

There has been a large volume of fraudulent calls that are allegedly coming from the Sheriff’s Department saying there is a warrant out for your arrest for not showing up for Jury Duty. Another tactic is that they say they are a sheriff’s deputy working in association with the Social Security Office, or they are calling about nonpayment of back taxes.  These are all SCAMs! 

The Sheriff's Office does not solicit for funds over the phone under any circumstances!
