Jasper County Sheriff's Office reports numerous scams occurring

(From the Jasper County Sheriff's Office)

There are numerous scams going around. The "IRS" scam and the "you have a warrant" scam seem to be the big ones for right now. Even though we have put out numerous warnings we still have people getting taken advantage of.

If you receive one of these calls, hang up! NEVER give out personal information. If they have your information never confirm it for them.

DO NOT PROVIDE ANY INFORMATION, JUST END THE CALL.








We have said this several times already but we never call and ask for money. We will not call you to tell you have a warrant; we will come visit you in person.

Don't answer a number you don't recognize is the easiest way to avoid these calls.

PS- Just to let you know-
you did not win the publisher's clearing house grand prize, a new car, a trip, a new house, money, the prince of wherever's inheritance and Bill Gates is not wanting to send you money.

If it sounds to good to be true, that is because it is not true.

Don't be taken advantage of.
