IMPORTANT NOTICE
Fraudulent Calls Targeting EM Clients
SCRAM Systems has seen an increase in fraudulent phone calls being made to individuals involved in electronic monitoring (EM) or community supervision programs. These scams are occurring nationwide and have affected programs using a variety of EM technologies—not just SCRAM Systems monitoring technologies.
In these calls, the scammer poses as a representative of a sheriff’s office, court, or monitoring company and claims that the individual owes money, is in violation, or could be taken back into custody unless a payment is made immediately. The goal of these calls is to create fear and prompt a quick payment.
If any client, agency, or staff member receives such a call:
Do not provide any personal or payment information.
Do not make any payment requests over the phone.
Immediately contact local law enforcement to report the incident.
Notify your SCRAM Account Manager or SCRAM Systems Customer Support so we may assist with awareness and tracking.
