(MILAM) Milam County Sheriffs officers alerting the public of a SCAM:  Impersonation of Law Enforcement Officers
Our office is aware of a recent scam involving individuals calling the community and falsely claiming to be law enforcement officers or employees. One of our citizens was contacted by someone posing as a sheriff’s deputy who claimed a relative of that person was arrested. The scammer demanded money and attempted to pressure the person into paying by CashApp, Zelle, or Chime.
These types of scams are becoming more sophisticated and can appear to be very convincing. Please remember:
If you receive a suspicious call, hang up and contact your local law enforcement agency directly. The sheriff’s office will never call you in this way, nor demand payments.
Official documents can be forged—always verify their legitimacy through trusted channels.
 Do not click on links or download attachments from unknown sources.
 Never send money, gift cards, or personal financial information to someone you don’t know.
 Trust your instincts—if something feels off, it probably is. Simply hang up and report it to law enforcement.
