STAFFORD — The Stafford County Sheriff’s Office is warning residents about people who pose as members of law enforcement, reputable businesses leaders, or other entities in an attempt to steal money by asking victims for payment in the form of gift cards.
In one case, a Stafford resident reported receiving a call from an individual claiming to be from the DEA. The individual told the victim that her social security number had been linked to a drug trafficking incident in Texas and that she needed to put money into a “safe card” to protect herself, according to a sheriff’s office spokeswoman.
