Familiar scam reported again

The Sheriff’s Office continues to warn residents of scams wherein thieves are posing as law enforcement.

Residents should be wary of any email/text/phone call they receive from anyone claiming to be a law enforcement official, especially those seeking money/gift card information — a sure sign you are being scammed!

Typically, the scammers will claim you’ve missed jury duty, have an outstanding warrant, or made some other false legal violation. Hang up/delete the text or email and contact the Monroe County Sheriff’s Office directly via www.keysso.net/locations

Also, be wary of online banking scams available on mobile or other electronic devices involving monetary platforms such as CashApp, PayPal, Venmo, or Zelle.

If someone calls you asking for money, purporting to be from your bank, a law enforcement agency, a credit card company, the government, a charitable organization, etc, hang up and contact the organization yourself.
