Hays County law enforcement is warning about reported phone scams where scammers are calling about pending arrest warrants and asking for payment with a gift card or bitcoin.
HCSO says some scammers are using a technique called "spoofing", which can display a legitimate phone number to the victim's caller ID. Scammers also often use the name of real sheriff's deputies and police officers to sound more legitimate.
Both SMPD and HCSO say they will never request payment over the phone or request fines to be paid with gift cards. Anyone who receives such a call is advised to hang up immediately. Residents are also advised to contact law enforcement to verify any information they receive through these calls. Residents can report scam calls to the San Marcos Police Department at 512-753-2108 or the Hays County Sheriff's Office at 512-393-7896.that I have read and agree
