The Lyon County Sheriff's Office is warning of a scam targeting residents with family members who have been recently arrested.
Scammers will call impersonating Sheriff's Office sergeants and say money is needed to post bail or cover jail-related programs.
They typically demand payment through gift cards or mobile payment apps.
The LCSO reminds people that they will never request payment through these methods.
Scammers are getting inmate details by accessing public records or using mobile jail roster apps to identify recent arrests.
