Sheriff’s Office Warns Of Phone Scam

Sheriff’s Office Warns Of Phone ScamThe Kosciusko County Sheriff’s Office has received several phone calls of a phone scam working its way through the community and as far away as Indianapolis.

The caller has been posing as KCSO Capt. Travis Marsh, telling people that they have warrants or have missed a court date and need to pay fees to avoid going to jail. The scammers have also used other information available over the internet to try and convince victims that they are legitimate.

The number used is 574-358-8341, a VOIP phone number.

The Sheriff’s Office wants to inform everyone that they will never solicit payments over the telephone for anything. Those receiving calls from the imposter will quickly note that he cannot correctly pronounce “Kosciusko.”
