LAKE COUNTY, Calif. – Authorities are warning Lake County residents about another telephone scam now circulating in the community.

The Lake County Sheriff’s Office and the Lake County Superior Court have received reports from citizens who have received phone calls from an automated line requesting that the recipient remain on the line regarding outstanding arrest warrants.

They are then connected to a person who requests the recipients’ Social Security number.

Authorities said this is a scam. Neither the Lake County Sheriff’s Office nor the Lake County Superior Court are involved in this activity, and the calls should be treated as scams.

The sheriff’s office urges anyone who receives such a call to not respond to the caller. Do not provide the caller with any personally identifying information, including your name, date of birth,
address, Social Security card, bank information or credit card information.

The Lake County Sheriff’s Office is investigating these reports of fraud.
