JoCo Sheriff's Office Warns Community of Telephone Scams
The Josephine County Sheriff’s Office has received multiple reports regarding attempted telephonic scams.
In the reoccurring attempts, the scammers identify themselves as members of the Sheriff’s Office, often times as Undersheriff Travis Snyder. The scammers are commonly calling about a family member who has been arrested and are soliciting bail money.
The Sheriff’s Office does not and will not call you with this suggestion, and they want to remind citizens to remain vigilant and report any potential scams that come their way.
You should never provide financial or personal information to anyone until you are certain who you are speaking to. As with any of these sorts of scams, it is always a good idea to not provide any information over the phone, hang up, and call the Sheriff’s Office at (541) 474-5123.
