The Steuben County Sheriff will never ask for banking information
Steuben County Sheriff Jim Allard reports that on April 11, 2023, the Steuben County Sheriff’s Office received information that a Village of Bath resident received a phone call from 607-622-xxxx that the Steuben County Sheriff’s Office has a warrant for their arrest. The call also stated that in order to take care of it the person needed to supply their banking information.
This is a SCAM, the Sheriff’s Office does not need anyone’s banking information to take care of a warrant of arrest. If you receive a call like this, do not supply any information or reply to any questions. The last four numbers of the call change frequently and are sometimes actual numbers for uninvolved persons. Please report any scams to local law enforcement.
BE ALERT AND DO NOT BECOME A VICTIM!
Public safety is everyone’s business!
