⚠️SCAM ALERT⚠️ The Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Office is warning about a bail bond scam targeting people with loved ones in jail. Here’s how to protect yourself: 1. Get the Name: Ask for the company’s name and say you’ll call back. 2. Verify Independently: Look up the company online, check reviews, and call them directly using the number you find, not the one provided. 3. Visit in Person: Florida law requires bail bond companies to have a physical office. Visit to verify legitimacy. Beware of payment requests through mobile apps – legitimate services usually accept traditional forms of payment. Stay vigilant, verify requests, and spread the word to help others avoid these scams. If you suspect a scam, call your us or your local law enforcement agency immediately. #ScamAlert #PalmBeach
