New Scam in San Angelo

Scam Alert: SAPD & County Attorney’s Office warning about local scam. See the full message below for details.

Several citizens have called to report they have been contacted by individuals claiming to be a representative from the “County Attorney’s Office”. The scammers are demanding that people pay a sum of money to avoid being arrested on a warrant. The scammers will ask the victim to send a money order via Western Union to a location other than the County Attorney’s office.

The Tom Green County Attorney’s Office does not conduct business this way- They do not contact people by telephone nor do they do business with Western Union, credit card companies, or collection agencies. Contact is made via mail or in person and true payments can be made to the County Attorney’s office in person or by mail.

If you are contacted by scammers- hang up and add the number to your blocked calls list. If you are a victim of this current scam, please report the crime to law enforcement. You can also make a complaint to the Federal Trade Commission at https://www.ftccomplaintassistant.gov/
