I agree this is terrible, and I encourage people to talk to their older / non technical friends and family
At the same time, that seems like a lot of work on the part of the scammers when the average person wouldn't know what their local sheriff sounds like. Osceola doesn't seem like a small town.
The grandparents scam (cloning the voice of a grandchild) is a lot more concerning IMO
