The Bingham County Sheriff’s Office has received reports of individuals and business entities receiving phone calls from subjects posing as members of the Bingham County Sheriff’s Office, advising the subjects that they are calling because they have outstanding tickets or fees and are requesting individuals to release their financial information to pay the fees over the phone. Please be advised that members of the Sheriff’s Office would never call individuals regarding these types of matters, these types of calls are a scam. Please stay vigilant and do not release your personal or financial information to entities that you do not know or have not verified their credibility.
