Community Notification-Scam calls in our area
The St. Louis County Sheriff's Office has become aware of a number of scam calls in our area. The caller claims to be a member of law enforcement, in a number of instances, particularly the St. Louis County Sheriff's Office and demands monetary payment for various reasons such as failing to appear for witness testimony or missed court dates. These calls are not legitimate.
The Sheriff's Office wants to advise and remind the public that law enforcement does not call members of our community to ask for payment over the phone. If anyone receives one of these calls, do not provide any payment by cash, credit card or gift card. Any questions regarding payment of fines should be directed to court administration. If you receive one of these calls and wish to report a police report, please do so by calling 911.
