In reply to Mable. Mable As former law enforcement myself, we almost never let someone know they had a warrant. As a last resort, if all efforts failed, then we might call them to urge them to turn themselves in. And things might have changed but we never, ever asked for any money and if there was money owed, that would be a bond which was paid either to a bondsman, a percentage , or paid directly to the jail, which requires the full amount.

My registered family member got two scammer calls about a week apart, same script, same con, different men’s voices, and I can’t believe we fell for it the 1st call until the scammer asked for gift cards. The thieves prey on the fear, anxiety and mistrust registered persons & their families have for law enforcement and the registry process. I wish all states had such a strong advocacy group, but most don’t. Thank God for FAC!

One tip-off is when the caller claims to be with the ‘Duval County Sheriff’s Office,’ but you’re in Clay.

With all the crooked cops in FL, I wouldn’t be surprised if this perpetrator turns out to be LE associated with one of the more notorious departments in that state. The things they convincingly know about the process suggests an insider.

#1 Please do not call yourself a SO unless you feel you are still sex offending. We prefer registered person

#2 The best thing to do on these calls is tell the person you are hanging up and calling into the Sheriff’s office yourself to verify.

On Saturday, I received a letter from the PA State Police advising me of such scam calls. I thought that it was nice of them to notify registrants of this. Fortunately, I received such a call several years ago, so am well aware of them.

I got a call recently. I just told the guy that they had the wrong number, he kept persisting, and I just kept saying, I just got this number last week so I don’t know who that person is.
