She further reported the scam artist told her they needed to pay a certain amount of money, via “money pack voucher” from a Circle K convenience store, to ensure there is not an arrest made on the person with the alleged warrant.
As the lady began questioning the scam artist about the requested payment, the scam artist threatened that if she did not make the payment in one hour the warrants would be activated.
We have received information on a similar incident where the caller was a female.
Sheriff Paul Babeu Stated, “It is not the practice of the Pinal County Sheriff’s Office or law enforcement agencies in general, to call and solicit payment for warrants or demand payment over the telephone”.
