Pike County Sheriff’s Office warns public about scam activity
The Pike County Sheriff’s Office posted a notice on its Facebook page warning the public about scam activity, the department’s public relations office said. The brief advisory was shared by the Pike County Sheriff’s Office Public Relations Department and included the hashtag #ServiceBeforeSelf.
The sheriff’s office is the primary law enforcement agency for Pike County and is responsible for public safety, criminal investigations and community outreach. Agencies such as county sheriff’s offices often issue alerts to help residents avoid financial fraud and identity theft.
While the department did not provide detailed claims or examples in the Facebook post, experts and law enforcement commonly advise people to be cautious with unsolicited phone calls, texts or emails that request money, account details or personal information. Residents are generally encouraged to verify requests through official channels and to contact local law enforcement if they suspect a scam.
The advisory did not include further details. We will provide more information as it becomes available.
