DUBOIS CO. – The Dubois County Sheriff’s Department is warning the public about a phone scam.
Scammers pose as representatives from the Sheriff’s Department and claim there is an outstanding warrant for your arrest. They then demand payment in Bitcoin or threaten arrest.
The Dubois County Sheriff’s Department reminds residents that officers will never request payment over the phone or ask for payment in cryptocurrency.
If you receive such a call:
1. Hang up immediately.
2. Do NOT provide any personal or financial information.
