Today, we pause to remember the 2,977 innocent lives lost on September 11, 2001.

We honor the courage of the first responders who ran toward danger, the ordinary Americans who performed extraordinary acts of bravery, and the men and women who have served and sacrificed in defense of our nation in the years since.

May we never forget those we lost, the heroes who answered the call, or the unity that brought our country together in the days that followed.

We remember. We honor. We will never forget. 🇺🇸

The Cleburne County Sheriff’s Office is warning residents to remain vigilant after receiving reports of a phone scam in which callers falsely claim to represent a legitimate organization and allege that the recipient has fraudulent or unauthorized charges on an account.

In this scam, individuals receive a phone call, voicemail, text message, or email stating that suspicious charges have been detected. Victims are instructed to call a provided phone number to resolve the issue. Once contact is made, scammers attempt to obtain personal information, banking details, credit card numbers, passwords, or other sensitive data.

These scams use fear and urgency to pressure people into acting quickly. Residents should be extremely cautious of unsolicited communications regarding unexpected charges or account activity.

Warning Signs of the Scam:
-Unsolicited calls, texts, emails, or voicemails about suspicious charges.
-Requests to call an unfamiliar phone number.
-Pressure to act immediately to prevent account closure, additional charges, or legal action.
-Requests for personal information, passwords, Social Security numbers, account credentials, or payment information.
-Demands for payment through gift cards, wire transfers, cryptocurrency, or other unusual methods.

How to Protect Yourself:
-Do not call phone numbers provided in unsolicited messages.
-Verify account activity by contacting the organization directly using a trusted phone number from an official website or account statement.
-Never provide personal or financial information to unknown callers.
-Hang up immediately if a caller pressures you to act quickly or threatens consequences.
-Report suspected scams to local law enforcement and the appropriate consumer protection agencies.
-Residents who believe they may have shared personal or financial information with a scammer should immediately contact their financial institution, monitor their accounts for suspicious activity, and report the incident to law enforcement.

Anyone receiving these scam communications is encouraged to report them to your local law enforcement agency. Fraud reports can also be made to the Federal Trade Commission at ftc.gov or reportfraud.ftc.gov.

Giant thanks to Wes and the crew at Veterinary Urgent Care on Pangburn Road. They partner with us regularly to allow the Sheriff's Office access to vacant sections of their building for training. This week and next week our office is conducting building clearing and active shooter training using the space provided by them. We are grateful for their partnership!
