The Larimer County Sheriff's Office will never call to demand payment for an inmate's bond, early release, ankle monitors, or other fees related to incarceration.
LCSO has gotten many reports from people who have a loved one in jail. The caller claims to be a Larimer County official and demands payment for the inmate's release. THIS IS A SCAM. If you have a friend or family member in jail and receive a call like this, hang up. Do not provide any personal or financial information.
