(From the Putnam County Sheriff’s Office)

The Putnam County Sheriff’s Office is continuing to receive complaints about telephone scams, email scams, and mail scams.

Multiple reports have been filed where a family member needs money.

The “family member” says they are in jail and needs money to post bond (the requested money amount has been up to $20,000).

Please be aware of these scammers and do not give any personal information to anyone without 1st verifying the information.
