ATTENTION: This scam is back and worse than usual. We have seen this in Berrien County 3 times this week. They are asking for upfront payment without meeting a bail agent in person. Make sure the person is a licensed bonds person. Check online or call the jail and ask if they are on the “Approved Bondsman List”. Every County has that list. If you are already a victim of this scam, make a formal Police Report including the number the scammers called from.
