Randolph County Sheriff's Office issued the following announcement on Mar. 10.
We've been hearing that citizens have been receiving calls from someone claiming to be with Homeland Security.
If you receive a threatening phone call from a Homeland Security Investigations agent or an unsolicited call from a CBP agent, you should hang up because it is probably a Homeland Security phone scam. DHS will never call anyone with demands or requests for sensitive information. Instead, report the call to DHS and the Federal Trade Commission.
If you want to learn more, believe you are the victim of a phone scam, or if you have been receiving Homeland Security scam phone calls, contact the Identity Theft Resource Center (ITRC) at no cost by phone (888.400.5530) or live-chat. Just go to www.idtheftcenter.org to get started.
