PHONE SCAM ALERT!
The Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office has been made aware of a phone scam.
According to the JSO’s Public Information Officer Melissa Bujeda, the complainant told police that she received a series of telephone recordings advising her that she has overpaid her taxes to the city and offering to wire transfer her a refund or asks her to agree to donate her overpayment to the Save the Animals Foundation. The recording did not provide an opportunity to speak to a live person.
The JSO warns that this is a scam and may be a way to obtain your personal information. If you receive calls of a similar nature, call Officer Bujeda at (904) 630-2133.
