The Lawrence County Sheriff’s Office made the following statement concerning scams occurring in Lawrence County.
“We have been made aware of a couple of phone scams currently making their rounds. The first one is calling local businesses claiming to be an official with the Sheriff’s Office and stating that a person at that number is in some sort of legal trouble and giving them a number to call to contact a deputy. These calls are not coming from the Lawrence County Sheriff’s Office. The second claims to be with Direct TV/AT&T stating that the person’s cable box needs repairs or to be replaced. The caller may have partial account information. This too is a scam. DO NOT give any personal information to anyone over the phone. Thank you.â€
