(From the Hancock County Sheriff’s Office)

Once again, scammers are becoming more active. We have had several calls from citizens who have gotten calls claiming to be from our office, and threatening to arrest them if they do not pay a fine/fee.

Please do not give out personal information and do not pay them anything. The Hancock County Sheriff’s Office will not call and threaten to arrest, or ask for money.

Please be cautious with callers, and again, DO NOT GIVE OUT INFORMATION OR MONEY to someone you don’t know.
