SCAM ALERT
Lancaster County residents have been receiving an increasing number of scam telephone calls from persons impersonating Lancaster County Sheriff’s Office Deputies.
The scammer may use the name(s) of an actual Deputy Sheriff and have also demonstrated the ability to clone the Sheriff’s Office telephone number, and more recently, the actual voice of the Sheriff, and/or the voices of members of the Sheriff’s Office.
The Lancaster County Sheriff's Office will NEVER call or email you and request that you pay any fines or fees online or over the telephone, nor will we demand that you purchase gift or money cards to pay for court costs, post bail, or pay a fine for failure to appear for jury duty.
If you receive one of these calls, DO NOT PAY ANY MONEY and contact your local police department to file a report. If you have further questions, contact the Sheriff’s Office Monday through Friday from 8:30 AM to 5:00 PM at (717) 299-8200.
