Callers posing as sheriff's deputies demand payment over the phone

A sheriff's office in Idaho has warned of more calls from people pretending to be deputies, claiming missed jury duty, unpaid fines or warrants and asking for money straight away. Real officers never demand payment over the phone or threaten arrest over unpaid fines. Hang up and call the agency back on a number you look up yourself, and never pay with gift cards, crypto or payment apps. With QuietGuard's protection on, a cold call like this from an unknown number stays silent and waits in the quiet log until you are ready to check it.
