🚨 SCAM ALERT — PLEASE SHARE! 🚨
We want to make our community aware of an ongoing scam involving individuals pretending to be bail bonding companies in an attempt to steal money from families.
Scammers may call claiming that you have a warrant, that your loved one has been arrested, or that money must be sent immediately to keep someone from going to jail or to secure their release. They may even use the name of a legitimate local bonding company to make the call sound convincing.
⚠️ PLEASE DO NOT SEND MONEY BASED ON AN UNSOLICITED PHONE CALL.
At Maranda’s 24HR Bail Bonding, LLC there is something very important we want everyone to know: WE DO NOT MAKE OUTBOUND CALLS TO RANDOMLY NOTIFY PEOPLE THAT THEIR LOVED ONE IS IN JAIL. Our company is contacted first by the defendant, a family member, friend, or another authorized person regarding a bond. Therefore, if someone unexpectedly contacts you claiming to be from Maranda’s 24HR Bail Bonding, LLC and tells you that your loved one is in jail, has a warrant, or that you need to immediately send money — DO NOT SEND THEM ANYTHING.
📵 Hang up.
🔎 Search for the legitimate bonding company in the county they claim the arrest or warrant is associated with.
📞 Call the company back using the phone number listed on its official Google Business Profile or another verified source — not the number the caller gives you.
These scams have been happening for years, but we tend to see them increase significantly around the holidays when scammers know families may be more vulnerable to urgent, emotional calls involving their loved ones. A legitimate situation can always be verified. Do not allow anyone to pressure or scare you into sending money immediately. If something doesn’t feel right, hang up and verify it yourself. Please share this post with your friends and family. Taking a few extra minutes to verify a phone call could prevent someone from losing hundreds or even thousands of dollars.
🚨Stay alert. Stay informed. And when in doubt — CALL BACK DIRECTLY. ‼️
