Forrest County Sheriff's Office - It’s That Time of Year, Friends, When People Show Their “Grinch” and Try to Take Advantage of the Good Citizens

It’s that time of year, friends, when people show their “Grinch” and try to take advantage of the good citizens. FCSO has had a call about someone offering to pay for a job but when asked about a credit card to do so, the bad guy requested personal banking information. Thank goodness the good citizen stopped texting with the bad guy and blocked his number. #avoidGrinches Don’t be fooled by scams like this! Never give out your personal banking information, DOB or social security number to a stranger! If it sounds like someone is fishing for info, don’t take the bait- just break the line. A public service message from the Forrest County Sheriff’s Office.
