There’s a warning about a warrant scam from the Waukesha County Sheriff’s Office.
Deputies say they’ve gotten a few calls from people who’ve gotten calls from scammers who tell them they have a warrant out for their arrest. The scammers then offer to allow people to pay to clear the warrant. The sheriff says that’s not how warrants work, deputies say you should never pay anyone over the phone, and they say if you get one of the calls you should hang-up.
