Alert: Worcester County Sheriff's Office impersonators-
🚨 Scam Alert – Please Read 🚨
We have received reports of scammers calling residents while using the names of Commanders from the Worcester County Sheriff’s Office. These calls are NOT legitimate.
🔴 Important reminder: The Worcester County Sheriff’s Office will NEVER call, text, or email you to tell you have missed court and demand money, payments, gift cards, wire transfers, or cryptocurrency.
⚠️ Common signs it’s a scam:
- The caller creates urgency or fear (threatening arrest, warrants, or fines)
- You’re told to pay immediately or “keep the call confidential”
- Requests for payment via gift cards, prepaid cards, wire transfer, or crypto
- The caller asks for personal information (SSN, bank details, PINs)
- Caller ID spoofing to look like a law enforcement number
- Poor grammar, scripted responses, or pressure not to verify the call
- Refusal to provide a case number or allow you to call back through an official number
If you receive a call like this:
- Hang up immediately
- Do not provide any personal or financial information
- Report the call to your local law enforcement agency
📞 If you’re unsure whether a call is legitimate, contact the Worcester County Sheriff’s Office directly using an official phone number 410-632-1111 —not the number provided by the caller.
Please help protect our community by sharing this post, especially with friends and family who may be more vulnerable.
