From the Caldwell County Sheriff’s Office:
We have been receiving complaints from residents who are receiving calls from Caldwell County Sheriff’s “deputies” saying the resident has missed a court date, has a warrant for arrest etc and he/she must pay the scammer with some kind of money card….some are also receiving phone calls or mail saying he/she has violated the CARES Act which provided emergency relief to families and businesses during Covid. There have been fake documents that look like federal court orders indicating that business owners fraudulently used funds from the CARES Act etc…please if you receive calls from someone saying they are deputies, or are federal agents, call the Caldwell County Comm Center BEFORE you send any money to anyone!!!! 828-758-2324
