SCAM ALERT!!! For Immediate Release Monday, November 24, 2025 Taylor Thomas Public Information Officer III 240-687-2207 Scammers Steal Thousands While Posing as Sheriff’s Deputies Upper Marlboro, MD – November 24, 2025 — The Prince George’s County Office of the Sheriff is urging residents to remain vigilant as reports of an aggressive phone scam continue to rise. Multiple residents have been swindled out of thousands of dollars, with more than $12,000 stolen in the past week alone. The scammers are impersonating sheriff’s deputies, using the real names of sworn personnel and falsely claiming that the targeted individual has an outstanding warrant for failing to appear in court. Victims are instructed not to hang up the phone and pressured to pay an immediate “fee” using gift cards or Bitcoin to avoid arrest. Sheriff John D.B. Carr is extremely troubled by this predatory act and is reminding the community that no deputy from the Prince George’s County Office of the Sheriff will ever call to demand payment, request personal financial information, or instruct anyone to meet in a parking lot to resolve a legal matter. If you receive such a call, hang up immediately and contact the Sheriff’s Office at 301-780-8500.
Hemingway Memorial’s Book Club is excited to share a new community partnership with the City of District Heights. We donated funds to establish a Little Library Box that was installed in front of the church, providing free books for readers of all ages. This initiative is designed to build community, inspire lifelong learners, and expand access to books for everyone who passes by. We were honored to receive a special visit from the Mayor’s Office, who stopped by our location and generously contributed a collection of books to help launch the library. We look forward to sharing more details soon. As a reminder, the Hemingway Memorial Book Club meets every 2nd Saturday at 12 noon, and we welcome everyone to join us. Whether you’re an avid reader or just curious, there’s a place for you in our growing community of book lovers.” Pictured above: Members of the Book Club. Our new president, Sis.
