We will NEVER ask for money by phone, text, or email. We will NEVER call you about missed jury duty. Our community continues to be targeted by phone scammers identifying themselves as employees of the Lane County Sheriff’s Office, typically claiming to be sergeants. Scammers have in the past also used text and email. Scammers claim there are warrants, missed jury duty, or unsettled legal issues. They may also offer to take bail money so family members in our jail may be released. Scammers then ask for payment or personal information, often threatening arrest. In some instances, the scammers appear to call from official phone numbers or provide fraudulent callback numbers with official-sounding voicemail inboxes. They often already have some personal information based on the phone number they called. If you are contacted by someone claiming to be a Lane County Sheriff's Office employee and you think you are being scammed, HANG UP. Then contact our dispatch center at 541-682-4150 opt. 1. Please share with your friends and family!
