I first saw Chief Deputy Bill King on a program called “Dateline.” I called his office and spoke to him regarding my father-in-law falling victim to the Jamaican lottery scam. King is an expert on the scams and enlightened me on the complexity of them. He is the only person who responded to me and shed light to this horrible crime that is literally causing Americans, mostly seniors, financial ruin. He has pushed this exploitation of our seniors to the forefront.

He traveled to Jamaica and told the Jamaican authorities that the scamming needs to stop. He has testified before Congress with that same message.

King really cares about our seniors, not only in his county, but across America. He continues to keep me aware of the current situation regarding the Jamaican scams. His dedication shows that he is a tireless crime fighter for the people. I have a great respect for him and believe in his ethics.

King is running for sheriff, and I strongly urge all voters in York County to vote for him in the Democratic primary election on June 10. I feel he will be able to continue working for you very fortunate citizens of York County, and fighting to bring an end to the lottery scams.
