828-538-7079 - Swain County NC Sheriff Government Scam ? A phone number reported as 828-538-7079 has been connected with a suspected sheriff impersonation scam, government scam, jury duty warrant scam, fake contempt case scam, and phone extortion attempt. The report states that the caller claimed to be Officer Sergeant Michael Harrison and falsely connected the call to Swain County, North Carolina Sheriff activity while also mentioning Georgia State Prison. The caller claimed there was a federal warrant for a missed grand jury duty summons and a circuit court warrant for an active contempt case. The fake warrant IDs were given as Federal FR:2606-7119 and Circuit CR:2606-7129. After confirming the victim?s information, the caller claimed that a letter had been hand-delivered to the victim?s address on May 21 explaining the situation and that the victim should have turned themselves in within 72 hours. When the victim said they had not received any letter, the caller offered an ?alternative option? to clear the victim?s name by going to a secure bonding kiosk at a local gas station and depositing $5,000. This is a major warning sign of a law enforcement impersonation scam. Real sheriff departments, courts, and federal agencies do not demand payment through gas station kiosks, gift cards, cryptocurrency, wire transfers, or payment apps to cancel warrants. Scammers use fear, fake badge names, legal terms, warrant IDs, and threats of arrest to pressure victims into paying quickly. Anyone contacted by 828-538-7079 should hang up, avoid sharing information, avoid sending money, and verify any warrant or jury duty issue directly with the official court or sheriff?s office using a verified public phone number.
