The Daviess County Sheriff’s Office warned the public about scams involving threats of jail unless money is paid. The release did not specify when the scams occurred or when the warning was issued; it identified Daviess County in describing the agency and other offices scammers may impersonate.
The sheriff’s office said no one from its agency, the Daviess County Detention Center, the Daviess County Clerk’s Office, Kentucky courts or federal court systems will call to threaten someone with jail for not paying money.
The release also referred to other scams currently happening but did not describe them. It urged people to hang up on callers making such threats and asked the public to share the warning with family, friends and co-workers.
