COLUMBIA, S.C. — Richland County deputies says scammers are pretending to be them to try and get people's money.
Officers say the scammers are calling people and telling them there is a warrant for their arrest, but they can have it dismissed if they send payment in gift cards.
The agency says they will never contact someone asking for money to have a warrant dismissed.
Anyone who thinks they may have been a victim of this scam should contact RCSD at 576-3000 to file a report.
