The Trumbull County Sheriff's Office would like to make the public aware of a scam that has recently been reported to the Trumbull County Jail.
The jail received multiple phone calls from concerned citizens reporting that individuals claiming to be members of the Trumbull County Sheriff's Office were contacting family members and friends of people who are currently or were recently incarcerated.
The Trumbull County Sheriff's Office will never call family members or friends and request money over the phone for an inmate's release. Likewise, the Sheriff's Office will never demand payment over the phone for warrants, missed jury duty, fines, court costs, or any other legal matter.
Residents are reminded not to provide money, banking information, credit card numbers, gift card information, Social Security numbers, or any other personal information to unsolicited callers.
