The Calvert County Sheriffโ€™s Office is currently investigating a scam where citizens are being called by a person posing as a Calvert County deputy.

The person is stating that the citizen has outstanding traffic fines. The person is directing the citizen to acquire a money order for the fine amount. The money is then to be wired to the person to satisfy the fines to prevent a warrant from being issued.

Sheriffโ€™s Office personnel do not collect traffic fines and would not request any payment by telephone.

If you receive a call like this, please report it to the Sheriffโ€™s Office at 410-535-2800 or 301-855-1194.ย
