As many of you know, scammers frequently target senior citizens. The Marion County Sheriff’s Department is asking everyone to help educate seniors.
Should they receive a call asking for personal information, money, or gift cards, teach them to NEVER do these things.
The sheriff’s department receives calls daily about scammers spoofing phone numbers to make the call look legitimate, such as the sheriff’s department’s number. Please know the MCSO would never call asking for money via phone.
