Orangeburg Warns Residents About Phone Scam Targeting Seniors
ORANGEBURG COUNTY, SC (WOLO)- Deputies in Orangeburg County are warning residents about a scam that is targeting seniors.
The Orangeburg County Sheriff’s Department says an individual is targeting seniors with threats that a warrant has been issued for their arrest.
Officials say the scammer states a $500 payment to him will negate that warrant.
“No charge can be dropped by a simple payment, no matter how much the money,” Sheriff Ravenell said. “In other words, a trillion dollars won’t get a warrant dropped.”
Authorities say the caller has been giving potential victims the name of “Davey Williams” and is calling from 803-310-3988.
If anyone receives a call from this number, please contact the OCSO at 803-534-3550 or call Crimestoppers at 1-888-CRIME-SC.
