Area law enforcement would like to alert all citizens of another scam that is targeting our area. The caller will identify himself as a public defender and states that your grandson or granddaughter has been involved in a traffic crash and is ok but currently in jail.
The SCAM will then instruct you to wire $2,190.00 for bail and advises you not to try to call the jail as it will complicate matters.
The number the call is coming from is 541-402-1212. If you receive a call from this number it is a SCAM! Please hang-up and don’t engage in a conversation with these people.
