LAKE COUNTY COURTHOUSE EMPLOYEE TARGETED IN ARREST WARRANT SCAM
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Fraudsters are at it again in Lake County, Indiana. This time, they targeted an employee at the Lake County Courthouse with a phony arrest warrant demanding $8500.
The fake order of arrest threatens to arrest the employee for failure to appear in court and warns that the bail amount required is $8500. It even has a State of Indiana seal at the top and a sheriff’s department star near the bottom.
Anyone receiving a similar document should not attempt to connect with the sender in any way or attempt to pay to avoid arrest.
The Lake County Sheriff’s Department and the Lake County Courts do not contact civilians by phone or by mail demanding payment for arrest warrants.
