The Saline County Sheriff's Office is warning citizens of a bond scam that is increasing in the county.
A person claiming to be a Saline County deputy has been calling and notifing citizens that they have a family member who needs bond money.
"The Saline County Sheriff's Office does not contact family members on behalf of inmates to request bond money. Inmates have access to phones in the Saline County Jail and are given opportunities to make calls to friends and family regarding their bonds," the sheriff's office noted in a news release issued this morning. "At no time will an employee from the Saline County Sheriff's Office call citizens and request bond money from them over the phone."
Persons who have questions about the legitimacy of a phone call regarding this issue can contact the Saline County Sheriff's Office at 785-826-6500.
