Police are warning about scammers pretending to be sheriff's deputies. They may tell you: - you missed court - there is a warrant for your arrest - you must pay immediately - you need to use Bitcoin or cryptocurrency - you cannot hang up or call anyone else Some scammers are even sending AI-generated arrest warrant images to make the story look real. (Source: North Huntingdon Township Police, via Crimewatch) What to do: - Hang up. - Do not send money. - Do not use a Bitcoin kiosk. - Call your local police department using a number you look up yourself. Remember: real law enforcement does not require payment for warrants through cryptocurrency. Slow down before you click, pay, or panic.
