We are receiving multiple reports of citizens being called and sent text messages by "scammers" (low-life thieves), presenting themselves as Chief Deputy Tommy Bradford. A resident actually received a phone call in the presence of Major Bradford, earlier this morning.

Below is a screenshot of an actual message. As you can see, they are not only thieves, but illiterate as well, which should be the first clue that they aren't legitimate.

As we've stated many times before , we WILL NEVER CALL YOU DEMANDING MONEY to resolve a legal matter.

While we ask you to share this post, just sharing it isn't enough. We beg you to call anyone you might know who does not have Facebook, and let them know to never pay someone in regards to something like this. Especially elderly neighbors, family, etc.

If you ever receive a call like this and need reassurance, contact the agency through a verified number, and they will almost certainly tell you that it wasn't them.

Before you hang up on the scammer, feel free to tell them just how awful they are, or tell them about Jesus. Whichever you prefer!

PS... The phone numbers don't even match. 🤦🏻‍♂️
