Sheriff warns public about rising phone scams
During a recent public address, Sheriff Danny H. Rogers of the Guilford County Sheriff's Office highlighted the alarming rise of fraudulent scams affecting residents both locally and nationally. Sheriff Rogers emphasized that his office will never contact individuals regarding subpoenas, arrest warrants, or summonses, nor will they request payment in any form, particularly through gift cards.

The sheriff urged the community to remain vigilant against scammers posing as law enforcement officials. He advised residents to avoid answering calls from unknown numbers and to seek verification if they receive suspicious communications. Sheriff Rogers encouraged anyone uncertain about a call to reach out directly to his office for clarification.

This initiative aims to educate the public on recognizing and reporting scams, reinforcing the importance of community awareness in combating fraud. The sheriff's office remains committed to providing ongoing public service announcements to protect residents from these deceptive practices.
