Hancock County Sheriff’s Office Warns Community About Phone Scams

The Hancock County Sheriff’s Office released a scam warning yesterday stating they have received information that people are receiving phone calls from someone claiming to be one of their Lieutenants.

They remind residents to not give out any personal information or send money. They also stated that residents do not need to call their office unless a person has given out any information or given money to the scammers.
