SCAM ALERT – FRAUDULENT “MAGISTRATE/BOND” CALLS

The Rutherford County Sheriff’s Office wants to alert the public about a recent scam targeting families of individuals who have just been arrested.

Last night, a local family received multiple phone calls from (586)327-3516 from someone claiming to be a bondsman at the magistrate’s office. The caller stated that a recently arrested family member had a $20,000 bond and asked the family to send money.

When the family attempted to verify the information and asked to meet in person, the caller repeatedly avoided the request and eventually hung up. The family later confirmed in person at the magistrate’s office that the real bond was significantly lower and that the individual had not contacted them.

What makes this scam especially concerning is that the caller appeared to know immediately that the arrest had taken place and had obtained accurate contact information for multiple family members.

We want to ensure no one in our community becomes a victim of this scam.

If you receive a call like this:
Do NOT send money or make payments over the phone.Verify all bond information directly with the magistrate’s office.Ask to meet in person. Scammers will avoid this.Hang up and call the agency directly using publicly listed numbers—never the number the caller gives you.Report suspicious calls to the Sheriff’s Office immediately.
Important Reminder
Law enforcement and magistrate’s offices do not call demanding money, wire transfers, Venmo/CashApp/Zelle payments, or gift cards for bond or release. All legitimate bonds must be handled in person through approved processes.
Please share this information to help protect others in our community.
