The Lamar County Sheriff’s Office has issued a warning to residents about a prevalent phone scam in which callers impersonate bank or credit union representatives. These scammers inform individuals that their debit cards have been compromised and request sensitive financial information, including card numbers and PINs.
Authorities emphasize that legitimate financial institutions will never solicit such details over the phone. Providing this information can lead to unauthorized purchases of items like money orders and gift cards, which are challenging to trace.
Residents are urged to remain vigilant, hang up on suspicious calls, and avoid sharing personal or financial information with unsolicited callers. If you suspect you’ve been targeted or have disclosed sensitive details, contact the Lamar County Sheriff’s Office or your local law enforcement agency promptly.
