Beware of scammers especially during the holiday season! You may receive phone calls from “Unknown” numbers or EVEN numbers local to your area. Scams also come in the form of text messages and emails. These individuals are falsely identifying as employees of Prize Awarding Sweepstakes, such as Publishers Clearing House, or warehouses stating “Your package couldn’t be delivered…”
DO NOT give out any personal information.
“The holiday season can be a bit busy for us all.” shares Sheriff Ricky T. Buchanan. “Because of this, scammers tend to take advantage of this time in hopes that the busyness causes distraction. Please keep your guard up and don't fall prey to these scammers. Bring awareness to your elderly loved ones to ensure they don’t either”
