Fraudulent Jewelry Sales Alert-

 



Worcester County Sheriff's Office

 SCAM Alert - Fraudulent Jewelry Sales in Pocomoke 

The Worcester County Sheriff’s Office is alerting the public about a recent incident in Pocomoke, where an individual (pictured) has been approaching citizens in the Walmart parking lot, attempting to sell gold jewelry. The individual claims that the jewelry, which is priced at just a few hundred dollars, is worth significantly more. However, it has been confirmed that the jewelry is counterfeit.

The individual is reportedly driving a 2024 silver Jeep UT24, with Florida license plate JKQY39. He claims that he needs the cash for his family, who can be seen in the back seat of the vehicle.

This subject could be traveling to other parts of our county to attempt the same scam. We urge all residents to exercise caution if approached with such an offer. When someone is selling jewelry and claiming it is worth much more than the asking price, it is a major red flag. We strongly advise you to decline the offer and immediately contact local law enforcement.
