BCSO Warns of Recent Phone Scam

The Bulloch County Sheriff’s Office is warning citizens about recent phone scams:

The Sheriff’s Office has received numerous complaints recently regarding phone call scams. These scams vary in their content but all of them are requesting payment in the form of gift cards from Wal-Mart, Sam’s Club, and other businesses. Please do not fall for these scams and do not give out personal or financial information over the phone or internet. If you have family members that are elderly please take time to explain these scams to them so they don’t get taken advantage of. These scams originate from burner phones and email addresses that we can’t track or trace so be vigilant and not a victim.
