Emmet County, MI - December 16, 2024

The Emmet County Sheriff’s Office is alerting residents about ongoing scams targeting citizens throughout the county. Recently, individuals have reported receiving phone calls from scammers using false numbers, claiming they are from the Emmet County Sheriff’s Office. The scam callers claim to hold valid arrest warrants for potential victims. These fraudulent callers are demanding large sums of money as bond to avoid arrest. Additionally, some scammers have posed as representatives from Emmet County courts, also alleging that there are warrants requiring substantial bond amounts. As a reminder, The Emmet County Sheriff’s Office and Emmet County Courts will never contact citizens to inform them of a warrant or request payment for a bond over the phone. If you receive such a call, it is a scam.

Citizens are urged to take the following steps if they encounter these suspicious calls:

Hang Up Immediately.
Do not engage with the caller.
Contact the Sheriff’s Office and report the incident.

Your safety and security are our top priorities. Please remain vigilant and share this information with friends and family to help protect our community from these scams. For more information, or to report a scam, please contact the Emmet County Sheriff’s Office at (231) 439-8900.

Stay Safe and Stay Informed.
