Marion county jail scam call?
Hey guys so I had a friend that was arrested and obviously we were calling to get information to different lines but then an hour or two after we had gotten all the info I got a call from a Private number and they were saying they were calling from the Marion county sheriffs office. They were giving us a bunch of his info and saying how we would have to pay $1200 in bail money to pay for an ankle monitor and then his bail which made sense to me in the moment and then he said it would have to be through cash app or apple pay which is when i started seeing red flags lol. After double checking the Marion county site and calling his bluff he kept arguing that it was real so i hung up.
Just wanted to put this out there as a warning because it was crazy with the info they had because he had only been arrested for 3 hours yet they knew his full name, address, where he worked, car make/model he was driving when arrested, and then they also called his mother’s phone number after i hung up and refused to answer after they called 6 more times and she then called me asking what was going on.
