Scam Alert: Callers Pretend to be from Rockland County Sheriff's Office

Several people have contacted the Sheriff’s Office the last few days reporting that they received suspicious phone calls from phone number 845-801-0573 stating that they were a SGT from the Rockland County Sheriff’s Office.

THIS CALL IS A SCAM and the phone number is not connected to the Sheriff’s Office. Callers are told they were wanted for skipping Jury duty and that there would be a warrant put out for their arrest if they didn't make payments via Zelle or Venmo.

The Sheriff’s Office does not ask for payments in connection with warrants and members of the public should never provide personal information without verifying the identity of the caller.
