CAPTION: CREDIT RENO COUNTY SHERIFF’S OFFICE
The Reno County Sheriff’s Office has been receiving scamming reports.
According to a Facebook post from their page on Thursday, Feb. 13, reports detail people claiming to be employed by the Sheriff’s Office and are requesting money. Callers have used the names Sergeant Brian Colling, Commander Brian Richardson and Officer Cloose.
The scammers are telling folks that they have FTA charges, direct contempt charges or owe fines. Requests for payment methods include Bitcoin. They have also sent forged paperwork to folks as well.
The Sheriff’s Office said if paperwork needs to be sent out, it will be sent through mail. The Sheriff’s Office will also never request payment of any kind including bitcoin, gift cards and currency over the phone.
To report a scam, call the Sheriff’s Office at (620) 694-2735 or contact the District Court Clerks to verify information.
