Farmers Insurance-Michelle Landry

⚠️SCAM ALERT

Scammers are spending their snow day on the phone... we've gotten numerous reports of law enforcement impersonators calling people today. They're "spoofing" our non-emergency number (970-416-1985) so it looks like the call is coming from LCSO, then demand money. Here are the warning signs of this common scam:

📱 You get a call from someone who claims to be an officer or deputy. They may even provide a real person’s name.
👮 The Caller ID shows up as a law enforcement agency.
😮 They tell you that you have a warrant for your arrest. They may tell you not to speak with anyone about the issue or you’ll be arrested for “violating a gag order.”
💰 They demand immediate payment to avoid going to jail. They may ask for gift cards, wire transfers, cryptocurrency (Bitcoin), PayPal, CashApp, or other money transfer methods.

This is always a SCAM. Real law enforcement will never call to demand money. If you do have a warrant, there's no buying your way out of it. Scammers use psychological tactics to catch people off guard, create fear and confusion, then prey on panic to get people to pay.

It can happen to anyone, so spread the word!
