Scammers are targeting families of inmates in Dallas County Jail, posing as bail bondsmen to steal money. They use public records and track down relatives online. Victims receive urgent calls promising quick release if they send cash through apps or gift cards. Dallas County has updated its website with a warning, stating that bonds must be posted in person at a legitimate bail bond company or the countys bond desk. Local defense attorney Robert Abtahi has seen an increase in reports and warns of red flags such as unsolicited calls and pressure to pay without paperwork. Always verify bond amounts directly with the county.
