SUBJECT: URGENT SCAM ALERT – IMPERSONATION OF LAW ENFORCEMENT & "SECOND CHANCE PRETRIAL SERVICES"
The Schuyler County Sheriff’s Office is issuing a warning to all residents regarding a phone scam targeting family members of individuals who have recently been arrested.
Scammers are calling residents, posing as a Schuyler County Sheriff’s Deputy or Lieutenant. The caller claims they are affiliated with a program called "Second Chance Pretrial Services" and tells the victim that they can enroll a recently arrested loved one into this program to drop, suspend, or prevent criminal charges—in exchange for an immediate fee or payment.
IMPORTANT FACTS YOU NEED TO KNOW:
The Sheriff's Office Has No Lieutenants: The Schuyler County Sheriff’s Office does not hold or utilize the rank of Lieutenant. Any caller claiming to be a "Lieutenant" with the Schuyler County Sheriff's Office is an immediate fraud.
No Solicitation or Money Demands: The Schuyler County Sheriff’s Office will NEVER contact you or your family members demanding payment, gift cards, wire transfers, or mobile app payments (such as Zelle, Venmo, or CashApp) for pretrial placement, bail, warrants, or court programs.
Pretrial Services Cannot Dismiss Charges: Law enforcement officers and pretrial services do not have the legal authority to negotiate, drop, or prevent criminal charges in exchange for money.
Illinois is a No-Cash Bond State: Under the Illinois Pretrial Fairness Act (PFA) (part of the SAFE-T Act passed under 725 ILCS 5/110), cash bail and money bonds have been completely eliminated across the entire state of Illinois. No officer, court official, or pretrial service provider can legally ask you for money to bond someone out of jail or keep them from being held. Release decisions are determined strictly by a judge based on public safety considerations, not financial payments.
WHAT TO DO IF YOU RECEIVE THIS CALL:
Hang Up Immediately: Do not engage with the caller or confirm any personal details about yourself or your loved one.
Beware of Phone Number Spoofing: Scammers frequently use software to make your caller ID display the actual phone number of the Schuyler County Sheriff’s Office or Courthouse.
Verify Official Calls Directly: If you receive a suspicious call claiming a family member is in custody or requires fees, hang up and call the Schuyler County Sheriff’s Office directly at (217) 322-4366.
Please share this notice with friends, family, and vulnerable community members to protect them from financial loss.
