Scam Alert !!!

Recently scammers have been calling family members of persons currently on our jail roster identifying themselves as Preble County Jail employees.

They are asking families for $500 for an ankle monitor to be placed on their loved one so they can be released. The scammers may use the name of a current Sheriff’s Office employee. Then are providing a Pay-Pal account for the victims to pay into.

Just a reminder, law-enforcement agencies will never call you and ask for money over the phone. You should never provide money or account numbers to anyone and report any incidents to local law enforcement.
