Amelia County, Va. (Newsradiowrva.com) - The Amelia County Sheriff’s Office says a recent phone call scam is being reported by county residents.
Scammers have called residents from the sheriff’s office phone number, telling residents that they have missed a court date and that they have to go purchase a VISA gift card to pay their fines and that they must use a website to pay.
The sheriff’s office says this is a scam, as the sheriff’s office would never call residents and request money in connection to a court case.
Anyone with questions can call the sheriff’s office at 804-561-2118.
