Local news outlets reported the warnings on October 26, 2026.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Scammers are using fear and urgency to pressure people into paying money. They may sound convincing, but residents should not trust unexpected demands for immediate payment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How Fake Arrest Warrant Scams Work<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The scam often begins with an unexpected telephone call, text message, or email.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The person contacting you claims to represent a police department or sheriff&#8217;s office. They may say you have an outstanding arrest warrant or an unpaid traffic ticket.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Next, they demand immediate payment to resolve the supposed problem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Some scammers threaten arrest if you refuse to cooperate. Others claim that paying a fine will prevent legal trouble.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The goal is to frighten you into sending money before you have time to verify the claim.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Warning Signs of a Law Enforcement Scam<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Fake arrest warrant scams often share several warning signs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Immediate payment demands:<\/strong> The caller insists you must pay right away.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Threats of arrest:<\/strong> You are told that officers will arrest you unless you send money.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Unexpected contact:<\/strong> Someone contacts you about a legal problem you knew nothing about.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Requests for personal information:<\/strong> The caller asks for financial details or other sensitive information.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Unusual payment methods:<\/strong> You are instructed to use gift cards, cryptocurrency, or another difficult-to-reverse payment method.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Scammers may also disguise their telephone numbers. This can make a call appear to come from a legitimate government office.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Even a familiar number on your caller ID does not guarantee the call is genuine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What Central Texas Police Want Residents to Know<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Police emphasize that law enforcement agencies do not demand immediate payment over the telephone to prevent an arrest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Waco Police Department and McLennan County Sheriff&#8217;s Office are urging residents to recognize these fraudulent requests.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Similar scams may also involve computer pop-ups, credit card accounts, and online services such as Google or Amazon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Although the recent warnings came from McLennan County, residents throughout Central Texas should remain alert.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">People in Milam County, Bell County, Williamson County, and surrounding communities can encounter the same tactics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What to Do if You Receive a Suspicious Call<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If someone contacts you about an unexpected warrant or fine, take these precautions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol start=\"1\" class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Hang up.<\/strong> Do not continue a conversation with someone demanding immediate payment.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Do not send money.<\/strong> Never make a payment simply because a caller threatens arrest.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Protect your information.<\/strong> Do not share your Social Security number, banking details, or passwords.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Verify the claim independently.<\/strong> Find the law enforcement agency&#8217;s official telephone number yourself. Do not use a number supplied by the caller.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Report the incident.<\/strong> Contact your local police department or sheriff&#8217;s office.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you receive a suspicious text or email, avoid clicking links or opening attachments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You can also discuss the situation with a trusted family member or friend before taking action.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Help Protect Older Family Members and Neighbors<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">These scams can frighten anyone. However, older adults may be particularly concerned when someone claims they face arrest or legal trouble.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Talk with elderly parents, relatives, and neighbors about these warnings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Remind them that they do not have to make an immediate decision because someone on the telephone demands it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Encourage them to hang up and contact someone they trust.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A short conversation today could prevent a serious financial loss tomorrow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What if You Already Sent Money?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you believe you have been scammed, act quickly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Contact your bank, credit card company, or payment provider immediately. Explain what happened and ask whether the transaction can be stopped or reversed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Report the incident to your local law enforcement agency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You can also file a report with the Federal Trade Commission at <a href=\"https:\/\/reportfraud.ftc.gov\/\">ReportFraud.ftc.gov<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Save any messages, telephone numbers, receipts, or transaction records that may help investigators.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Stay Alert and Share the Warning<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Fake arrest warrant scams in Central Texas are a reminder that criminals often rely on fear to get what they want.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A legitimate legal matter should be verified through official channels. Never send money simply because someone threatens you over the telephone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Share this warning with friends, family, and neighbors. The more people who recognize these scams, the harder it becomes for criminals to succeed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Sources:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.kwtx.com\/2026\/10\/26\/police-warn-central-texans-phone-scam-claiming-unpaid-tickets-warrants\/\">KWTX \u2014 Police Warn Central Texans of Phone Scam Claiming Unpaid Tickets, Warrants<\/a> \u2014 October 26, 2026.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.kxxv.com\/news\/local-news\/waco-pd-mclellan-county-sheriffs-office-warning-about-phone-scam-asking-you-to-pay-up\">KXXV \u2014 Waco Police and McLennan County Sheriff&#8217;s Office Warn About Phone Scam<\/a> \u2014 October 26, 2026.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.mclennan.gov\/410\/Jury-Duty-Scam\">McLennan County \u2014 Official Jury Duty Scam Warning<\/a>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Central Texas police warn of fake arrest warrant scams involving unpaid tickets and demands for money.
