Deputies are asking people to be cautious after an increase of spam call reports. Tuesday morning, Lee Weinland got a call from a random number. "He said he was from Bernalillo County Sheriff's Office. He informed me that there was a warrant for my arrest for failure to show up to a federal court, jury duty. I knew nothing about that," Weinland said. Weinland said the callers identified themselves as a sergeant and a captain. The callers gave him three options: call an attorney, ignore this warning, and a deputy would come to arrest him with a warrant or pay $3,000. "I was scared. It really got me really going," Weinland said. The address the caller gave led to a gas station in Southeast Albuquerque with an ATM inside. "They said there was a subpoena, and I said, I don't know anything about a subpoena. He said, well, you signed for it. And I said, oh, I did. 'Yes, you did on December 6th in Los Alamos, they thought that I still lived in Los Alamos," said Weinland. Eventually, he realized it wasn't the department after they didn't list his address correctly and after looping in his ex-wife and the Bernalillo County Sheriff's Office. "I put them all on conference call. Victoria (with BCSO) was saying, no, this is a scam, don't pay anybody any money. All of a sudden click, those guys were gone," said Weinland. "Makes me just sick to think that other people might believe it because their con is a good one." The sheriff's office said they've received many reports similar to this. The reports are being investigated, according to BCSO."We will never call you about any sort of jury duty, court-related information, unless it is coming strictly from maybe the, the courthouse or the district attorney's office. If it's an investigation, that will come from a detective," said Deanna Aragon, a public information officer for BCSO. You can report a scam to BCSO at 505-798-7000.
