Transylvania County -- July 15, 2024: Transylvania County Sheriff's Office: Unfortunately, we have to bring you news of another

    scam going around. This time a person is calling from a spoofed Transylvania County Sheriffโ€™s Office phone number stating that they are the FBI.


    The caller then proceeds to tell the would-be victim that they missed Federal Jury Duty and that they now have a warrant for their arrest.

    The scam artist will then provide you with a way out by allowing you to pay a bond. They even go as far as to have a fake warrant for your arrest that they will provide you.

    If you receive one of these calls please get in touch with Transylvania County Sheriffโ€™s Office or your local law enforcement agency and confirm any, and all information before giving these scam artists any money.

    Unfortunately, these scam artists do their homework and generally know a great deal about you or your family and can be very convincing.

    Transylvania County Sheriffโ€™s Office can be reached by calling 828-884-3168.
