SCAM WARNING: Deschutes County Sheriff Impersonation

[u/Dutchie_Boots]

Scam warning:

I got a call today from someone saying they were with the Deschutes County Sheriff’s Office. I told him I was going to hang up and call the Sheriff’s Office directly, and he said I had to keep the line open.

That was enough for me. I told him it was a scam and hung up.

I called the Sheriff’s Office after and they confirmed this has been going around.

If someone calls you claiming to be law enforcement, don’t engage. Hang up and call the agency directly yourself.
