Jacksonville, FL — The Baker County Sheriff's Office is warning residents about a phone scam they say is circulating, involving people claiming to be with their agency and with the Social Security Administration.

The sheriff's office says the callers are directing residents to go to Walgreens and purchase a money order to mail to them.
Deputies want you to know, they will never call or email you asking for your financial information or direct you to purchase a money order or debit card.
