Never forget. Never forget the innocent lives lost. Never forget the men and women who lost their lives trying to save others. Never forget what it felt like to be an American in the days that followed this attack seeing the Nation band together to pick up our brothers and sisters in New York. Never forget the men and women in the military who answered the call to defend America. Never forget.

‼️ Scam Alert ‼️ 🚨

There is an ongoing scam going through the community. The scammers have been telling people that their bank account has been compromised or they owe back taxes or they have warrants. The scammers have been asking for credit card or banking info and some have been asking for money transfers via bitcoin.

No agency in Rains County will ask for banking information or ask you to withdrawal money.

The scammers look to be targeting retired elderly individuals.

Please be scam aware and never share banking information with anybody over the phone.

When in doubt feel free to contact the Sheriffs Office with any questions.
