Telephone Scam Claims to be Confirmed By Sheriff's Office

The Gila County Sheriff’s Office is warning residents about a telephone scam in which a caller claims to be from Publishers Clearing House. The caller tells you that you have won prize money, but to claim it you have to send them money. In one example, a request for $1,800 was made to receive a grand prize of $6,000,000.

These calls are showing up on caller ID with the Gila County Sheriff’s Office phone number. A man identifying himself as Sheriff Shepherd may attempt to confirm that the prize money is from Publishers Clearing House.

Please be cautious of any call asking for money in exchange for prizes. Also, be aware that the Sheriff’s Office does not call and confirm prize winnings or request money to be turned over to someone on their behalf.
