Law enforcement will never call and request money, cashiers checks, bitcoin or any other form of payment from a citizen for any reason
The Clark County Sheriff’s Office has seen an increase in fraudulent phone calls to citizens reporting the call recipient is required to pay a fine to avoid being jailed.
Additionally, there have been several calls from subjects identifying themselves to the caller as an alleged attorney representing the recipient’s family member who has been in an accident. The caller then requests money to bail the family member out.
Law enforcement will never call and request money, cashiers checks, bitcoin or any other form of payment from a citizen for any reason. If you receive a call from a person alleging they are an attorney or law enforcement stating a family member needs money, verify with that family member or call 9-1-1 to verify or report the situation.
