Dubois County Sheriff’s Department warns businesses of impersonation scam

DUBOIS CO. – The Dubois County Sheriff’s Department has issued a warning to local businesses about a new scam targeting employees. Reports indicate that individuals are impersonating members of the Sheriff’s Office in phone calls to businesses, specifically requesting to speak with employees.

The Sheriff’s Office emphasizes that their deputies will always make in-person contact at the place of business if they need to speak with an employee, rather than initiating contact by phone.

Residents and businesses that receive a suspicious call or are uncertain about the legitimacy of a call are urged to contact the Dubois County Sheriff’s Office directly at 812-482-3522 to verify the inquiry.
