Beware of scams

🚨 SCAM ALERT 🚨
We’ve been made aware of a scam currently circulating in our area where individuals are calling residents pretending to be deputies from the Benewah County Sheriff's Office. These scammers are trying to trick people into giving out personal information, and in some cases, are using apps to spoof our official phone number, making it appear the call is coming from us.
⚠️ Please remember:
We will never call and demand personal information, payment, or threaten arrest over the phone.
If you ever receive a call that seems suspicious, do not give out any information. Hang up and call us directly at 208-245-2555 and press Option 1 for Dispatch to confirm the legitimacy of the call.
Stay safe and help us spread the word by sharing this post.
