Putnam County E-911 reminds everyone that scammers may pretend to be your bank and even make your bank’s actual phone number appear on caller ID. Do not assume a call is legitimate just because the number looks familiar!

We have been receiving reports of individuals being contacted by “their bank” wanting them to protect their account or that there has been a major withdraw of money recently done

If you receive a suspicious call:

1. Hang up. Do not provide personal or banking information.

2. Do not share passwords, PINs, or verification codes, or transfer money. Also please remember to not give your social security number or date of birth to someone contacting you

3. Call your bank directly using the number on the back of your bank card or an official bank statement.

4. Report the incident to your bank if you believe your information may have been compromised.

‼️Remember: Caller ID can be faked! When in doubt, hang up and verify.‼️

And as always, if someone you know does not have Facebook, please contact them and make sure they are aware of this information help educate each-other on how to protect yourself from scams!

🚨 Public Awareness Post Regarding Scams 🚨

Please be aware of a scam involving individuals impersonating law enforcement officers. These scammers may contact you by phone and claim you have a warrant or will be arrested unless you deposit cash or other monetary value into a kiosk, ATM, Bitcoin machine, or other payment system.

Our office has received many reports of individuals receiving a phone call from someone impersonating law enforcement and advising that they have a warrant out for their arrest and to avoid being arrested they have to deposit monetary value (cash, checks, gifts cards or digital money exchange) into a kiosk or other forms, reports also include the person impersonating law enforcement making you stay on the phone until the money has been deposited into their drop off location whether that be any of the forms listed above

We want the public to be aware that this is a SCAM and if you receive a call like this you should disconnect the call and immediately notify law enforcement by coming to the Putnam County Dispatch Office at 2802 Monroe street and reporting it or by dialing 660-947-3200.

We want the public to know that our law enforcement will not contact you via a phone call and demand you put money into any of the payment systems listed above to avoid being arrested, if you find yourself receiving a call like this we urge you to disconnect the call no matter what the person on the other end of the line is telling you and call us at the number listed above

Please share this post to help spread awareness to our community, and as always if you know of someone that does not have facebook please make sure they are aware!
