Fake Deputy Scam in Pinellas, Clearwater

CLEARWATER (970 WFLA) -- If someone calls you claiming to be "Deputy Roscoe Dobson"... hang up, it's a scam. 

The real Pinellas deputies say this faker will tell you that you have a warrant for missing jury duty... and you'll be arrested, unless you go out and buy pre-paid gift cards and give them to him outside the Pinellas County Courthouse. 

It's not real... even though he's spoofing his phone to make it looks like he works for the sheriff.

Don't give him any account numbers, if you do talk to him, but do call the REAL Pinellas Sheriff's Office.
