Greene County officials warn of a scam targeting families of jail inmates.
Fraudulent callers often posing as deputies demand immediate payment for an inmate’s release.
Scammers use real names to appear legitimate, and at least one family lost $1,500.
Pretrial Services warns that these calls exploit families.
Real court fees are handled in person, not through phone calls
If targeted, hang up, do not send money, and report the incident to law enforcement.
