Idaho AG issues urgent warning over new jail bond scam

The Idaho attorney general’s office is warning families about a new scam targeting people with loved ones in jail.

"These scammers target families at their most vulnerable moments," said Attorney General Labrador. "They exploit a parent’s or grandparent’s instinct to help by manufacturing fear, creating false urgency, and demanding immediate payment. It’s cruel, deliberate, and wrong. Idaho families deserve to be protected from those who would steal hard-earned money through lies and intimidation.”
