🚨Phone Scam Alert!🚨

The Harris County Sheriff's Office warns our community about a scammer pretending to be HCSO personnel.
Please stay vigilant and follow these tips to protect yourself:
1- Verify Identities: If someone claims to be an HCSO teammate, ask for their name and badge number, then contact HCSO at 713-221-6000 to verify.
2- Never Share Personal Info: Do not give out personal or financial information over the phone or online unless you know the recipient’s valid identity.
3- Beware of Threats: Legitimate law enforcement will never threaten arrest over the phone for non-payment of fines or fees.
4- Report Suspicious Calls: If you receive a suspicious call, hang up immediately and report it to our office.
5- Stay Informed: Educate yourself about common scams and share this information with friends and family.
Let’s work together to protect one another from scammers. If you have any concerns or questions, please call us at 713-221-6000.
