ORLANDO, Fla. - Dec. 18, 2025 - PRLog -- Central Florida Bonding, a trusted Orlando bail bonds agency invites Central Floridians to watch their newest YouTube video warning about the growing risk of bail bond scams. These scams target families who have a loved one currently in jail. The video, now available on the company's official YouTube channel, explains how scammers exploit fear, urgency, & confusion during a person's most vulnerable moments.
The short-form video focuses on common scam tactics that impersonators use while posing as bail bond agents. These tactics often include unsolicited phone calls, demands for payment through gift cards or payment apps, and false claims of affiliation with local courts or jails.
"Scammers are counting on people to panic and act quickly," said Hadi Khouri, owner and spokesperson for Central Florida Bonding. "We see it far too often. Families get a call claiming their loved one will not be released unless payment is made immediately, and that is simply not how legitimate bail bond agencies work in Florida."
According to consumer protection agencies, bail bond scams frequently occur shortly after an arrest, when booking information becomes publicly available. Scammers use that information to contact relatives and friends, often claiming to represent a local bail agency or law enforcement.
Central Florida Bonding's video explains several warning signs that indicate a bail scam, including requests for payment before verifying the arrest, refusal to meet in person, pressure tactics, and the use of nontraditional payment methods.
"Bail agents must be licensed, transparent, and accountable," Khouri said. "Anyone demanding payment before explaining the process, refusing to provide credentials, or claiming urgency that bypasses normal procedures should raise immediate concern."
Central Florida Bonding encourages anyone seeking bail services in Orlando to verify the agency directly, ask questions, and contact an established local office before sending money and verify in Sunbiz.org. The company emphasizes that trusted bail providers will take the time to explain the process, and answer questions without pressure.
