🚨 Scam Alert for Kitsap County Residents 🚨

Scammers are calling people pretending to be from your bank, local police or sheriff and the FBI demanding you deliver money.

How the scam works:
• Scammers call and claim your bank account is compromised or
that you owe a criminal fine.

• They tell you to put cash or bank & credit cards, including PINs in
an envelope.

• They tell you to call an Uber or Lyft driver to your house to pick
up the money and deliver it to them.

What you need to know:
• Law enforcement will NEVER call you to demand cash or card
deliveries.

• Banks will NEVER tell you to send cash, bank cards or credit cards
to them via a rideshare driver.

What to do:
If you get a call like this, hang up immediately and call your bank directly. You can also call the law enforcement agency they’re impersonating to confirm their claims are fraudulent.

Stay safe and protect your money! Share this to warn your neighbors.

🚨 SCAM ALERT: HOW TO SPOT A SCAM CALL 🚨

Scammers are getting better at making their calls sound legitimate, and they may even pretend to be law enforcement officers. The Kitsap County Sheriff’s Office wants you to know the warning signs so you can protect yourself and your family!

📞 How can you tell if a call might be a scam?

🚩 They threaten you. The caller claims you have a warrant or will be arrested if you don't act immediately.

🚩 They demand money. They ask you to pay fines, bail, or other fees using gift cards, cryptocurrency, wire transfers, or payment apps.

🚩 They claim a loved one is in jail. The caller says a family member needs money immediately for bail or release and pressures you to pay before you can verify the story.

🚩 They pressure you to act fast. They don't want you to hang up, ask questions, or talk to anyone else.

🚩 They ask for personal information. They may ask for your Social Security number, bank details, passwords, or verification codes.

🚩 They use a familiar name or phone number. Scammers may impersonate real employees or manipulate caller ID to make a call appear legitimate.

🛑 WHAT SHOULD YOU DO?

✅ Hang up if something doesn't feel right.

✅ Never send money or share sensitive information because of an unexpected call.

✅ Verify the information independently. Contact the agency or jail using an official phone number you look up yourself.

✅ Report suspected scams to the appropriate law enforcement agency.

Remember: A convincing phone call doesn't mean it's legitimate! Scammers rely on fear, urgency, and confusion to get what they want. Take a breath, verify the facts, and don't let anyone pressure you into sending money.
