SCAM ALERT: Bail bonding company owner says scammers are using his name to get money
A bail bond scam is making its way through Huntsville By Tiffany Thompson | February 3, 2021 at 10:47 PM CST - Updated February 4 at 6:49 AM
HUNTSVILLE, Ala. (WAFF) - Scammers are using a Huntsville bail bonding company’s name to separate people from their money.
Joe Medlen who owns the legitimate Bad Boys Bail Bonding Company said scammers are using his company name, calling people with loved ones in jail, and then telling them they can help for a fee.
“I’ve got phone calls of people who are coming in here and wondering if I had bonded their family member out of jail yet,” Medlen said. “I said I have not because I don’t know them, but then they are asking if Terry or Wade are working. These are some of the names the scammers are using. Then I say I do not have anybody employed by that name.”
