🚨 SCAM ALERT – PLEASE READ & SHARE 🚨

The Santa Rosa County Sheriff's Office is warning residents about an ongoing scam that continues to target members of our community.

⚠️ What’s Happening:
Scammers are making phone calls while pretending to be deputies from the Santa Rosa County Sheriff’s Office. They often use real names, spoof our official phone number, and speak with authority to sound legitimate.

Victims are being falsely told they’ve missed jury duty, have active warrants, or owe fines — and are then pressured to make immediate payments using gift cards, wire transfers, or mobile payment apps.

📞 Several calls today have specifically involved someone claiming to be “Captain S. Jones.”

💬 THIS IS AN ONGOING SCAM.
These scammers are persistent, and they’re preying on fear and confusion.

🔒 REMEMBER:
🚫 We will NEVER demand payment over the phone.
🚫 We will NEVER ask for gift cards or bank info.
🚫 No legitimate law enforcement officer will threaten arrest over the phone in this way.

🛑 What to do if you get a call like this:
✅ Hang up immediately.
✅ Do NOT give out any personal or financial information.

✅ Please share this alert with friends, neighbors, and especially elderly family members — they are often targeted the most.
Let’s work together to stop these scammers. Stay alert, Santa Rosa!
