Travis County attorney’s office warns of phone scam
Friday, September 27, 2024 by Beth Bond
People have been receiving scam phone calls in which the caller claims to be with the Travis County attorney’s office and demands money to remove a warrant or criminal charge they claim has been filed against the person they’re calling. The Travis County Attorney’s Office is warning the public that this is a scam. Its office does not communicate to the public in this way. The scammer offers to send a QR code for payment or directs people to go to an “official government pay station,” which is an ATM-like machine near a gas station. If you get a suspicious phone call like this, contact the Travis County Attorney’s Office at (512) 854-9415 to verify the validity of that call before giving anyone money.
